Cornflake cookies

My sister gave me this recipe for cornflake cookies and at first I was pretty skeptical but I needed a little excitement in my life so I thought I would give it a whirl. Turns out these are so yummy! A nice change from the usual chocolate chip. Beat until light and fluffy: 1 cup shortening (I just used butter) 1 cup packed brown sugar 1 cup granulated sugar 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla Sift together and stir in by hand: 2 cups flour 1/2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp soda 1/2 tsp salt Then stir in: 1 7 oz package FLAKED coconut 2 cups cornflakes Chocolate chips as desired Bake at 350* for 12-15 minutes until barely done
