In medium bowl, sift together flour, baking power, baking soda, salt.

In large bowl, mixing at low speed: gradually beat sugars into softened butter for 2 - 3 minutes, until completely combined and creamy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Using a wooden spoon, stir in flour mixture. Add the oats, krispies, choc chips, pecans and coconut and stir till well combined.

Using an ice cream scoop with a 1 tbl capacity, measure the dough and drop six scoops onto each of the prepared baking sheets, leaving 3 inches between cookies. Bake 12 - 14 minutes, until lightly browned on edges but still slightly soft in center. Cool 3 -5 minutes on pan before transferring to wire racks.
