  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt before gradually incorporating it into the creamed mixture.
  5. Fold in the rolled oats, chocolate chips, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut until fully combined.
  6. Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  2. Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

For the best flavor, toast the pecans lightly before adding them to the dough. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for up to three months.
