Recipe Information
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
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, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, ensuring everything is well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the rolled oats, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
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.
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.
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.
Serve the cookies warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
