George W. Bush Cowboy Cookies

My friend gave me this recipe. I grew up having cowboy cookies but these are taken to a whole new lever. They are SOOOO good! And yes these are GW Bush's favorite cookies!

3 sticks butter/marg. 3 c. chocolate chips (1 1/2 c milk chocolate chips/ 1 1/2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips)
1 1/2 c sugar 2 c. oats
1 1/2 c. b.sugar 2 c. shredded coconut
3 eggs 2 c. Pecans, slightly chopped
1 T. Vanilla
3 c. flour
1 T. b. powder
1 T. b soda
1 t. salt
1 T. cinnamon

In a bowl combine flour, powder, soda, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate large bowl cream butter and sugars. Beat eggs and vanilla and add to butter mixture. Add dry ingredients until blended. Stir in chocolate chips, oats, coconut, and pecans ( you may have to dig in with you hands...this makes a lot, but don't worry it taste great and who doesn't like a bit of dough).
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
