Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, melted and browned
- 1 and 1/2 cups (319 grams) light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup (99 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
- 2 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 and 1/3 cups (270 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 and 3/4 cups (156 grams) old-fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup (60 grams) sweetened flaked coconut
- 1/2 cup (64 grams) pecans, roughly chopped (plus extra for decorating)
- 12 ounces (340 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Brown the Butter: In a large bowl, whisk together the browned butter and both sugars until well combined (about 2 minutes). Don’t worry if the mixture looks slightly separated.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Whisk in the eggs and egg yolk, beating until fully incorporated (about 45 seconds). Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, oats, coconut, pecans, and chocolate chips.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Form Cookies: Scoop 2-inch balls of cookie dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches of space between each ball to allow room for spreading.
- Bake: Bake one sheet at a time in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden at the edges and slightly soft in the center.
- Optional Decoration: Immediately after baking, press extra chocolate chips and pecans onto the top of the cookies. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
- Cool: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
