Description

Deliciously large cookies bursting with flavors of chocolate, coconut, and pecans.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup salted butter
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 cups flaked coconut
  • 2 1/2 cups large flake oats
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the butter and sugars together with a mixer until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time until combined. Add in the vanilla, mix in.
  4. Whisk together the flour, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda.
  5. Add the dry ingredients into the wet, mixing thoroughly. Add the oats, combine.
  6. Stir (by hand) in the coconut, pecans, and chocolate chips until combined.
  7. Form into large balls – the original recipe uses 1/4 cup of dough for Texas sized cookies! – and place onto baking sheets 3 inches apart.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown. The baking time will depend on how large you make the dough balls.
  9. Remove and let cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes then place onto wire baking racks to cool completely.
