Materials

  • 1/2 cup unsalted browned butter
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1/2 large egg yolk
  • 1 and 1/4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 and 1/6 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 7/8 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 3/8 cup sweetened flaked coconut
  • 1/4 cup pecans roughly chopped
  • 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the browned butter and both sugars for about 2 minutes, until well blended. It's okay if the mixture looks slightly separated.
  • Add the eggs and egg yolk, whisking for about 45 seconds until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • In another large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, oats, coconut, pecans, and chocolate chips.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold them together just until everything is combined.
  • Scoop the dough into 2-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one to allow for spreading.
  • Bake one sheet at a time for 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers still look slightly soft.
  • If you'd like, press a few extra chocolate chips and pecans on top of each cookie right after they come out of the oven. Sprinkle with sea salt for a finishing touch, if desired.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
