Instructions: Sift together flour, baking powder and baking soda. Work butter in a bowl until creamy. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat well. Gradually add sifted dry ingredients to butter mixture and mix until smooth. Stir in nuts, coconut, rice cereal, oats and raisins. Cover and chill at least 30 minutes. Shape dough into a roll about 1-1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap roll tightly in waxed paper and chill overnight or longer. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease cookie sheets lightly with unsalted shortening. Cut chilled dough into 1/4-inch slices and place slices about 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes, or until browned. Remove cookies from sheets and cool on wire cake racks.

Makes 5-6 dozen cookies.
