Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Directions:
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Cream Butter and Sugars:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla:

- Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the oats, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, and chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop Dough onto Baking Sheets:
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly underdone, but they will continue to set as they cool.
- Cool and Serve:
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Yield:
This recipe makes approximately 3-4 dozen cookies, depending on the size.
