Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low until just combined.
Fold in oats, coconut, chocolate chips, and chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers look just set.
Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
