Description

These oatmeal coconut pecan cookies are a delightful combination of chewy and crunchy textures, enhanced by the nutty flavor of pecans and the tropical sweetness of coconut. Whether for a quick snack or a special occasion, these cookies will satisfy any sweet tooth.


Ingredients

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

1/2 cup shredded coconut

1/2 cup pecans, chopped

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup white sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the oats, shredded coconut, chopped pecans, flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
  3. In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together until light and creamy.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and continue beating until everything is well incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until fully combined.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a twist, add chocolate chips or dried cranberries.

Substitute pecans with walnuts, almonds, or macadamia nuts for variety.

To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free flour.

For a healthier version, substitute the sugars with honey or maple syrup.
