Servings: 18 servings
Ingredients
- 1 stick ½ cup butter, softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar lightly packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups old fashioned oats
- ¾ cup all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup shredded coconut
- ½ cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Add butter and brown sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat together on medium speed until well combined, usually about 2 minutes.
- Next, add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix to combine and scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed.
- Next, add the oats, flour, and baking soda. Mix again until just combined.
- Finally, add the chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans. Fold them gently into the cookie dough so you don't break the pecans.
- Scoop out two-tablespoon sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Make sure to place them at least 2” apart as the cookies spread while they're baking.
- Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes or until the cookies are just set and beginning to brown around the edges.
- Allow the cookies to cool for 2 minutes on the pan, and then transfer them to a wire rack.
