- 350°F, 15-18 min
Ingredients
- 1 c. (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/2 cup flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup pecans
Steps
- Oven 350°F.
- Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon together.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter/sugar/egg mixture.
- Stir in the chocolate chips, oats, coconut, and pecans. Space scoops (about 1/4 cup dough) 3 inches apart.
- Bake 15-18 min.
Notes
- A word right before “butter” in the ingredient list was hard to make out (possibly describing the butter, e.g. “unsalted”) — transcribed conservatively.
- “3 cups butter” style creaming step is implied but not explicitly spelled out on the card; the method assumes butter, sugars, and eggs were creamed together first.
