Equipment

Stand Mixer
Large Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups old fashioned oats
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 1/4 cups chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup shredded coconut
flakey sea salt (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a cookie sheet with a silicone liner or parchment paper, and set it aside.
Add the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to a large bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer) and cream them together for about 2 minutes until light and creamy.
Add in the eggs, and vanilla extract, and stir them into the mixture until just combined.
Add in the flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt and stir it all together until you have a nice soft cookie dough.
Add in the chocolate chips, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut and fold them into the dough.
Scoop the dough into 2 heaping TBS sized balls, roll them into balls. Place them onto the prepared cookie sheet, 2 inches apart from each other.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown, and the tops are just set.
Top the cookies with a couple extra chocolate chips, or pecan pieces if desired. Sprinkle the cookies with sea salt, if desired.
Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes, as they will continue baking. Then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
