Ingredients

½ cup butter, softened
½ cup shortening
1 cup white sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons evaporated milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups rolled oats
1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease two cookie sheets.
Cream together butter, shortening, white sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Stir in evaporated milk and vanilla.
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Stir flour mixture into the sugar mixture. Mix in oats, chocolate chips, coconut, and pecans. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
Bake for 13 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown, switching racks halfway through. Cool slightly on cookie sheets before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
