This recipe yields cookies packed with robust oats, buttery pecans, sweet coconut, and plenty of chocolate chips for a cookie with great bite and a medley of textures.

Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
Stir in oats, pecans, coconut, and chocolate chips with a spatula.
Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart (about 2 tablespoons per cookie).
Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers are still soft. Cool on baking sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
