Serves: 36-48
Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp salt (I prefer coarse sea salt.)
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 cup rice crispies cereal
  • 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare two rimmed cookie sheets with parchment paper, Silpat mats, or cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, cream together the softened butter and sugars for 2 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla. Mix until well combined, about 1 min.
  4. In a separate bowl, add the flour, old-fashioned oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
  5. Pour the flour mixture into the creamed mixer and mix until well combined.
  6. Next, mix in the coconut, rice crispies cereal, chopped nuts, and chocolate chips until just combined.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or two spoons to place dough balls 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet. If making regular-sized cookies, you should be able to fit 12 on a cookie sheet.
  8. Bake at 350 degrees for 9-12 minutes or until cookies are starting to lightly brown on the edges.
  9. Remove from oven and allow cookies to sit on cookie sheet for 1-2 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Repeat until all the dough is gone.
  10. Enjoy!
