Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
• 2 cups crisp rice cereal
• 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (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 mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir 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 to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Fold in the oats, shredded coconut, crisp rice cereal, and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded balls 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 set.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
