Instructions
1
|
Line two baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper. Set aside.
2
|
Place the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Use a mixer to beat on medium speed until well combined, about 1 minute.
3
|
Add the eggs and vanilla extract and continue to beat until smooth, about 30 seconds.
4
|
Add the flour, oats, spices, baking soda, and salt to the bowl. Beat on low speed, scraping the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed, until thoroughly combined.
5
|
Fold in the chocolate chips, pecans and shredded coconut.
6
|
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
7
|
Divide the cookie dough into 30 balls, using roughly 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough for each, and arrange them spaced 1 1/2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Transfer the sheets to the freezer for 10-15 minutes. Alternately, freeze the dough balls on a small tray or large plate and transfer to baking sheets after freezing.
8
|
Bake the cookies on middle rack of oven until puffy and golden brown at the edges, 15-17 minutes.
9
|
Check to see that cookies are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
10
|
Allow the cookies to rest on the sheets for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
