3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and baking powder.
4. Add to butter mixture in thirds, until incorporated.
5. Mix in oats, coconut, chocolate chunks and chopped pecans.(These final additions may have to be done by hand, using a stiff wooden spoon, if your mixer isn't powerful enough to cope with the dense mixture.).
6. Drop cookie dough by heaping tablespoons onto greased cookie sheets and bake at 350°F for about 12 minutes, until just beginning to turn golden.
7. Let cookies cool on baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
