There are many recipes for cowboy cookies and most are pretty good. This is one of my favorites.

1 cup margarine

1 cup shortening

2 cups brown sugar

2 cups sugar

4 eggs

2 cups old-fashioned oats

2 teaspoons vanilla

4 cups flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons baking soda

2 cups Rice Krispies

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup coconut

1 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Cream together the margarine, shortening and sugars.  Add the eggs, oats and vanilla and mix well.  Beat in flour, baking powder and baking soda.  Stir in the Rice Krispies, chocolate chips, coconut and pecans.  Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets.  Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.  Cool briefly on cookie sheets and remove to wire racks to finish cooling.
