1 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 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 1/3 cups (270 grams) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups (178 grams) old-fashioned oats
3/4 cup (60 grams) sweetened flaked coconut
1/2 cup (64 grams) pecans, roughly chopped, plus more for decorating
12 ounces (340 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt, optional
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together melted browned butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Add eggs and egg yolk one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix in oats, coconut, pecans, and chocolate chips.
- Combine Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Form Cookies: Scoop 2-inch balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each.
- Bake: Bake for 12 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers are slightly soft. Optionally, press extra chocolate chips and pecans on top, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt before baking.
- Cool and Serve: Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Butter: Browning the butter adds a rich, nutty flavor to the cookies.
Texture: For a thicker cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
Variations: Feel free to substitute coconut or pecans with other mix-ins like chopped nuts or dried fruit.
