1/2 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar

3/4 teaspoon salt

2 cups corn flakes or Wheaties

1. In a large mixer bowl beat shortening and butter for 30 seconds or until softened. Add sugars. Beat until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat thoroughly.
2. In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and blend well. Stir in corn flakes, oats, and coconut, mix well. If dough is very soft, chill dough until firm.
