Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Light brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans
• 0.5 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the eggs to the bowl one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and combine thoroughly.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the rolled oats, chocolate chips, chopped pecans, shredded coconut, and raisins (if using) 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 but the centers still appear slightly undercooked.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve and enjoy! Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
