Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, room temperature
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1½ cups brown sugar
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats, not quick-cooking oats
- 12 oz package chocolate chips (about 2 cups)
- 2 cups shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter until smooth. Add the white sugar and brown sugar and continue until well blended. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
- Sift together flour, salt, ground cinnamon and baking soda; add to butter mixture and blend well.
- Stir in oats, chocolate chips, coconut and chopped pecans; mix well.
- Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet. A cookie scooper would be handy for this. Bake for 12-14 minutes. The edges should be slightly browned though the middle may still look glossy.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then remove cookies to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
Storage and Freezing
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Freeze baked cookies for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
- Freeze unbaked dough balls on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake straight from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the baking time.
