For a chewier cookie, use all butter instead of shortening. This will also enhance the flavor. Toast the coconut and pecans lightly before adding them to the dough for a richer, more intense flavor. If you don't have coconut extract, a little coconut rum or coconut milk will enhance the cookie. For easier cleanup, line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
