Ingredients
  • 3/4 pound Butter or margarine
  • 3/4 cup Crisco or corn oil
  • 1 1/2 cup Brown sugar -- packed
  • 2 cup Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 4 cup Flour
  • 7 ounce Flaked coconut
  • 1 package Semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 12 ounce Pecans -- broken
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats for easy cleanup.
  2. 2
    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter (or margarine), corn oil (or Crisco), packed brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. 3
    Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. 4
    In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. 5
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. 6
    Stir in the flaked coconut, broken pecans, and semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. 7
    Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  8. 8
    Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly soft.
  9. 9
    Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. 10
    Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze unbaked dough balls for later baking.
