Ingredients

Dry ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 Tbsp baking soda
  • 1/2 Tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
Wet ingredients
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/2 Tbsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
  • 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats quick oats can be substituted, but I wouldn't use steel cut oats
  • 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 cup Chopped Pecans

Instructions

Prepare
    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.  Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Stir together dry ingredients
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.  Whisk to combine, then set aside.
Beat wet ingredients
  1. Add butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.  Beat on MED speed for about 1 minute, or until smooth.
  2. Add both granulated and brown sugars and beat another 2 minutes.
  3. Add one whole egg, plus one egg yolk, and vanilla, and beat until combined.
Combine
  1. Add flour mixture in thirds, beating until combined in between each addition.
  2. Add chocolate chips, oats, coconut and pecans and mix until combined.  This may be overwhelming for a mixer (depending on your brand), and may need to be done by hand with a wooden spoon and some arm strength, I promise it’ll be worth it!
Bake
  1. Use a 1/4 cup cookie scoop to scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 3” of space between each cookie.
  2. Bake for approximately 15-18 minutes, until edges are lightly golden brown, then let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes.  Transfer to a cooling rack until cool.
  3. Repeat with any remaining cookie dough.

Notes

  • very
  • Recipe adapted slightly from former First Lady Laura Bush
  • Recipe makes around 12-18 large cookies, but can be doubled if you need a larger batch. 
  • If doubling, I suggest just making two batches, unless you have a very large stand mixer.
  • Recipe can also be made using a hand mixer if you don't have a stand mixer.
