Original recipe (1X) yields 60 servings

1 cup shortening
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup gumdrops, chopped

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
Cream shortening and sugars in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl; gradually stir into creamed mixture until combined. Stir in oats, coconut, pecans, and gumdrops. Roll dough into walnut-size balls and place 2 inches apart onto prepared cookie sheets. Use a fork dipped in flour to gently flatten cookies.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Pear Galette with Ginger

This pear galette is an informal, rustic pie, made free-form, without a pie pan. This recipe is made even easier, with a purchased, refrigerated pie crust. Prepare the ingredients as the pie crust comes to room temperature. You can make a pear galette with Bosc or Anjou pears, but using red pears provides a beautiful color. Candied ginger adds a special touch, along with a tiny amount of bourbon.

Green Onion Garlic Naan Bread

I am going to show you how to make naan Chef John-style—when I want it fast and I don't want to use yeast and wait for a dough to rise but I also want it just as good as if I did. While I originally tried this method to save time, it produces what might be my favorite style of naan. It really is incredible whether you use garlic and green onions, or not. As naan are made, they must be stacked and wrapped in a kitchen towel to keep them soft and supple.
