  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two additions, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Stir in 1 cup shredded coconut, 1 cup chopped pecans, and ½ cup chocolate chips (optional).
  6. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
