Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Wet Ingredients:

  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 whole egg, room temperature
  • 1 egg yolk, room temperature
  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Add-ins:

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup quick-cooking oats
  • ¾ cup pecans, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup sweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Dry Ingredient Preparation: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  2. Mixing the Dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer, blend the sugars with melted butter. Add eggs and vanilla. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients. Stir in chocolate, oats, pecans, and coconut.
  3. Chill the Dough: Refrigerate the dough for 30-45 minutes.
  4. Baking: Preheat oven. Scoop dough onto a baking sheet, flatten slightly, and bake until golden.
  5. Cooling: Allow cookies to cool before transferring to a rack.

Notes

  • You can make these cookies without a stand mixer by using an electric mixer for the butter and sugars.
  • Using a 2-inch cookie scoop yields large cookies; adjust bake time for smaller cookies.
  • Check cookies at the lower end of the bake time due to oven variability.
