Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
- 2 cups crisp rice cereal
- 1 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, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the oats, shredded coconut, crisp rice cereal, and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded balls 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 lightly golden and the centers look set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
