Recipe

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in bowl.

In 8-quart bowl, beat butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy, 1 minute. Gradually beat in sugars; beat to combine, 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each. Beat in vanilla extract.

Stir in flour mixture until just combined. Add chocolate chips, oats, coconut and pecans.

For each cookie, drop 1/4 cup dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing 3 inches apart. Bake for 17 to 29 minutes, until edges are lightly browned; rotate sheets halfway through.

Remove cookies from rack to cool. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.

NOTE: For 6 dozen small cookies, use 2 Tablespoons dough for each. Bake at 350ºF for 15 to 18 minutes.
