Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (80g) sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup (115g) pecan halves, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup (112g) unsalted butter, room temp
- 1/2 cup (95g) shortening (don’t replace with more butter)
- 3/4 cup (150g) packed light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 2 cups (200g) quick oats, certified gluten-free if needed
- 1 1/4 cups (162g) all-purpose flour or 1-to-1 gluten-free baking flour, spooned and leveled
- 1 cup (180g) milk chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (90g) toffee bits
- Flaky sea salt, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread the coconut and pecans on the pan and bake for 5 minutes. Toss and bake for another 3 to 4 minutes or until golden and fragrant. Leave everything on the pan to cool.
- In a very large bowl using a hand or stand mixer with the paddle attachment, mix together the butter, shortening, brown sugar, and sugar until creamy and smooth, about 1 minute on medium speed. Then mix in the eggs and vanilla until well combined.
- Scrape down the bowl and mix in the baking soda and salt, followed by the oats. Switch to a silicone spatula and fold in the flour, coconut, and pecans by hand. Just before everything is fully mixed in, add in the milk chocolate chips and toffee and fold to bring the dough together.
- Using a large cookie scoop (3 tablespoons worth), scoop 4 to 5 cookies out onto the baking sheet, ensuring they have about 4 fingers' space between each.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the edges and high points are golden and the centers appear slightly underdone. Top each cookie with a sprinkle of sea salt and allow to rest on the pan for a couple minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
- The cookies turn perfectly chewy once cooled! Enjoy!
Notes
Make sure to let the cookies cool on the baking sheet to maintain their chewy texture.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh longer.
For a twist, try adding your favorite nuts or dried fruits.
