Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup butterscotch chips
• 0.5 cup chopped pretzels
• 0.5 cup shredded coconut (optional)
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Stir in the rolled oats, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, chopped pretzels, shredded coconut (if using), and chopped nuts (if using) using a wooden spoon or spatula.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop mounds 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 but the centers are still soft.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
