Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter softened (227 grams)
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar 150 grams
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar 150 grams
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2-¾ cups all purpose flour 330 grams
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • 1-½ cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 cup chopped toasted pecans

Instructions

  • If you don’t want too chill the dough before baking the cookies, preheat the oven to 350*F before you begin. 
  • Add the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to a mixing bowl. Beat on medium high speed for 2 to 3 minutes or until pale in color. 
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Remember to scrape down the sides of the bowl between adding the eggs. Add the vanilla extract and blend until well combined. 
  • Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon over the mixing bowl.Start by mixing on a low speed and continue beating until all the ingredients are completely blended together.
  • Add the chocolate chips, oats, coconut, and pecans. Mix until well incorporated. 
  • Use a 2 tablespoon sized cookie scoop to form balls of cookie dough. Place the balls of dough on a tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours. 
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheet pans with parchment paper or a baking mat.
  • Arrange the chilled balls of dough on baking sheets, ensuring they are spaced 2 inches apart. Bake for 9 to 12 minutes or until the edges are set, but the centers are still soft. If you make small cookies, reduce the baking time.
  • Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. 

Notes

  • You can totally bake the cookies right after mixing the dough, but they'll spread less if you chill the dough first. Don't forget to preheat the oven before baking them!
  • You can also freeze the dough balls for 3 to 4 months. When baking them from frozen, remember to increase the baking time by 2 minutes.
