Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

Step 6

Stir in the oats, chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans with a wooden spoon or spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look just set.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
