Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup butter, salted softenend
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups old fashioned oatmeal
  • 12 oz milk chocolate chips.
  • 3/4 cup coconut flakes
  • 3/4 cup pecans chopped

Instructions

  • Cream together sugars and butter for 3 minutes or until light and fluffy.
  • Add in eggs and vanilla. Mix.
  • Add in dry ingredients except oatmeal. Mix throughly.
  • Mix in oatmeal and coconut flakes until combined
  • Add in chocolate chips, and chopped pecans. Mix just until incorporated.
  • Scoop onto parchment covered cookie sheet.
  • Bake 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees, DO NOT overbake. Cookies should just start to brown around the edges.

Notes

  1. The secret to these cookies is to NOT overbake them.  You actually want them to look underbaked.  The cookies should not start to turn brown around the edges, just have an all over light brown color.
  2. For some fun flavor variations use walnuts or almonds instead of pecans.
  3. Substitute milk chocolate chips, white chocolate chips or butterscotch chips for the semisweet chocolate chips. You could even add in M & M's.
