Ingredients

  • vegetable oil cooking spray
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 8 ounces unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
  • 6 ounces semisweet chocolate, cut into 1/4-inch chunks (1 C)
  • 3 ounces pecan halves
  • 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray baking sheets with cooking spray, line with parchment, and spray parchment.
  • Sift flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder into medium bowl.
  • Beat butter and sugars with mixer on medium-high until creamy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to medium and mix in the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla.
  • Reduce speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture. Beat until just incorporated. Beat in oats, chocolate, pecans and coconut. (Dough may be refrigerated up to 3 days).
  • Drop dough onto baking sheets 3" apart. A 1 1/2" cookie scoop works well.
  • Bake until edges of cookies begin to brown, 11-13 minutes. Transfer baking sheets to wire rack and cool 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks. Cool.
