Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the shredded sweetened coconut, rolled oats, and chopped pecans (if using) until evenly distributed.
Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
