1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

2 cups rolled oats
1 cup chocolate chips (semisweet or dark) Your choice!
1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) Works well!

Method

Preparation

Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until no white streaks remain.
Fold in the rolled oats, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and shredded coconut until combined.

Baking

Scoop golf ball-sized portions onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and let the dough rest for about 15 minutes.
Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden and centers are slightly soft.
Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
