I was playing in the kitchen and craving oatmeal cookies. I like mine crisp on the edges and still moist in the middle.
Here's what I came up with. Hope you enjoy them as much as we did in the 15 minutes it took to almost devour them all

Orange/coconut oatmeal cookies
3/4 c shortening
1 1/4 c packed brown sugar
1 egg
1/3 c coconut milk
1 1/2 t. vanilla
1/2 t. orange oil (or 1/4 t for more mild flavor)
3 c oats
1 c whole wheat flour
1/2 t. baking soda
1/4 t. cinnamon
(I also add chopped dark chocolate, coconut flakes would also be yummy. or substitute orange oil for some orange zest for a more subtle taste)

Preheat ovento 375 degrees. You will need 3 ungreased cookie sheets.
Cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in egg.
Alternate adding in the rest of the wet and dry ingredients. Finishing with dry.

Drop in about 1 tsp. sized balls and flaten a bit with fingers to get desired thickness. They will flatten a bit but wont spread out much. Bake 10 minutes. If you like them just chewy remove when the bottom starts browning. If you like crisp edges remove when edges are browned. If you like crisp cookies remove when they are browned.
These can be made into larger sized deli style cookies by just making them larger but keeping the sane thickness desired.
