Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (230 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (220 g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (180 g) old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup (170 g) semisweet chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup (75 g) shredded sweetened coconut
  • ¾ cup (90 g) chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

Prepare the Dough:

  1. Cream butter and sugars:
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add eggs and vanilla:
    • Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  3. Combine dry ingredients:
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Mix the dough:
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. Add mix-ins:
    • Stir in the oats, chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and nuts until evenly distributed.

Shape and Bake:

  1. Preheat oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. Portion the dough:
    • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  3. Bake:
    • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.
  4. Cool:
    • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Customize: Swap out chocolate chips for white chocolate or peanut butter chips, and use almonds or macadamia nuts instead of pecans.
  • Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Chewy vs. Crispy: For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them. For crispier cookies, bake an extra 1-2 minutes.
