Baking Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Set the oven rack to the center position and preheat to 375ºF (191ºC). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set it aside.
  • Make Brown Butter: Heat the butter in an 8-inch skillet over medium-high heat, swirling to melt evenly. Cook until golden brown and nutty in aroma, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Make the Dough: Transfer browned butter to a large bowl. Stir in cinnamon, then add brown sugar, granulated sugar, and oil. Whisk together until combined. Whisk in eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth. Fold flour mixture into the butter mixture until combined.
  • Stir in Oats and Mix-ins: Stir in oats, coconut, chocolate chips, and pecans until well combined. The dough will be stiff.
  • Portion the Dough: Divide dough into 3 tablespoons sized pieces, roll into balls, and place 2" apart on the baking sheets. Press each ball into 2 ½" wide cookies.
  • Bake: Bake one sheet at a time until edges are set and lightly browned, about 8 to 10 minutes. Rotate halfway through baking.
  • Cool: Let cookies sit for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Cool completely before serving.
