| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 3 cups | All-purpose flour |
| 1 tablespoon | Baking powder |
| 1 tablespoon | Baking soda |
| 1 tablespoon | Ground cinnamon |
| 1 teaspoon | Salt |
| 1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) | Butter, room temperature |
| 1 1/2 cups | Granulated sugar |
| 1 1/2 cups | Light-brown sugar, packed |
| 3 | Eggs |
| 1 tablespoon | Vanilla extract |
| 3 cups | Semisweet chocolate chips |
| 3 cups | Old-fashioned rolled oats |
| 2 cups | Sweetened flake coconut |
| 2 cups | Chopped pecans |
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
- In a separate very large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and light-brown sugar, mixing until thoroughly combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, beating on low until just combined.
- Stir in the semisweet chocolate chips, old-fashioned rolled oats, sweetened flake coconut, and chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
- Drop portions of dough, approximately 1/4 cup each, onto an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them 3 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through the baking time. The edges of the cookies should be lightly browned.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool.
