Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Shredded sweetened coconut
• 1 cup Pecans, chopped

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 mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, ensuring everything is well combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

Fold in the rolled oats, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers appear set but still soft.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve the cookies warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
