1 cup orange slices, chopped
2 cups oats
1 cup pecans, toasted and chopped

Thoroughly stir flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together and add to sugar mixture. Stir until incorporated, then stir in coconut, orange slices, oats and nuts.
Shape dough into neat 2 inch balls and set about 2 1/2 inches apart on parchment lined or ungreased cookie sheets and press them down to make rounds a little over 1/2 inch thick. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until they appear set. You can also make them smaller if you’d like.
