Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (180g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup (80g) shredded coconut
  • 1 cup (120g) chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Add eggs and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
  6. Stir in old-fashioned rolled oats, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans. Make sure everything is evenly distributed.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers should look slightly underdone—they’ll set as they cool.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For thicker cookies, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Toast pecans for extra flavor.
