Ingredients

1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips, divided
1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats or rolled oats
3/4 cups shredded sweetened coconut
1/2 cup pecans, chopped

Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl add the flour, baking soda and cinnamon and whisk.
In a large bowl add the butter and brown sugar and cream together. Add in the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.
Add in the flour mixture and mix just until combined.
Fold in 1 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, oats, coconut and pecans
Cover and chill the dough for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Scoop 3 tablespoons of cookie dough and form into a ball, place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a baking mat.
Gently press the dough balls to flatten just a bit then add a few of the extra chocolate chips on top of each cookie.
Bake for 13-15 minutes the cookies will continue to bake a bit once removed from the oven.
Once cooled transfer them to a cooling rack, enjoy!

Notes

Measure your flour properly by spooning it into the measuring cup.

Chilling the dough is important as it prevents the cookies from spreading too much.

Add some additional chocolate chips on top before baking.

Don't overbake, remove them from the oven before they are all the way done. They will finish baking on the cookie sheet.
