Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two cookie sheets.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together both sugars and shortening until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Stir flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in another bowl; stir into the creamed mixture.

Stir in oats and orange candy. Using about 1 tablespoon for each cookie, roll into 1-inch balls. Place onto the prepared cookie sheets.

Bake in batches in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and cool on a wire rack.
