Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°. Grease a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until well combined.
- Reduce speed to low and add the dry ingredients to the wet, beating just until combined. Fold in 1 cup each of the chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, coconut flakes, pecans, and oats.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer with a spatula. Evenly sprinkle the remaining ⅓ cup of the chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, coconut flakes, pecans, and oats over the batter.
- Bake until golden and cookie is baked, tenting with foil during cooking if coconut is browning too quickly, about 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack, then slice and serve.
COWBOY COOKIES
This recipe came to The Times in 2000 during the Bush-Gore presidential campaign when Family Circle magazine ran cookie recipes from each of the candidates' wives and asked readers to vote. Laura Bush's cowboy cookies, a classic chocolate chip cookie that's been beefed up with oats, pecans, coconut and cinnamon, beat Tipper Gore's ginger snaps by a mile. Here is an adaptation of that winning recipe.

Tips:
- For the best results, use unsweetened coconut flakes. Sweetened coconut flakes will make the bars too sweet.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- To easily remove the bars from the pan, line it with parchment paper before baking.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
