First you make the granola…if you aren’t a big coconut fan, don’t use it in the cookies also.

½ cup margarine, softened

½ cup shortening

1 cup sugar

1 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

2-1/2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon baking powder

2 cups granola

1 cup coconut

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Cream together margarine, shortening and sugars.  Beat in eggs and vanilla.  On low speed, add flour, baking soda and baking powder.  Beat in granola and coconut.  Drop by tablespoonfuls on greased cookie sheets. Bake for 15 – 18 minutes or until lightly browned.  Cool on cookie sheets 2 minutes before removing to wire rack to finish cooling.
