Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1 cup dried cranberries or raisins
- 0.5 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Fold in the rolled oats, chopped nuts, dried cranberries or raisins, shredded coconut, and chocolate chips (if using) until evenly distributed.
Using a medium cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
