Ingredients
Dry ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 Tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 Tbsp baking soda
- 1/2 Tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
Wet ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/2 Tbsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats quick oats can be substituted, but I wouldn't use steel cut oats
- 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
Prepare
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Stir together dry ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk to combine, then set aside.
Beat wet ingredients
- Add butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on MED speed for about 1 minute, or until smooth.
- Add both granulated and brown sugars and beat another 2 minutes.
- Add one whole egg, plus one egg yolk, and vanilla, and beat until combined.
Combine
- Add flour mixture in thirds, beating until combined in between each addition.
- Add chocolate chips, oats, coconut and pecans and mix until combined. This may be overwhelming for a mixer (depending on your brand), and may need to be done by hand with a wooden spoon and some arm strength, I promise it’ll be worth it!
Bake
- Use a 1/4 cup cookie scoop to scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 3” of space between each cookie.
- Bake for approximately 15-18 minutes, until edges are lightly golden brown, then let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack until cool.
- Repeat with any remaining cookie dough.
Notes
- Recipe adapted slightly from former First Lady Laura Bush
- Recipe makes around 12-18 large cookies, but can be doubled if you need a larger batch.
- If doubling, I suggest just making two batches, unless you have a very large stand mixer.
- Recipe can also be made using a hand mixer if you don't have a stand mixer.
