Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven: Set to 350°F and line a baking sheet with a baking mat or parchment paper.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugars on low until smooth and creamy (use an electric or stand mixer). Add the egg and vanilla, mixing on low until well combined.1 cup butter, ¼ cup brown sugar, ¾ cup white sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, beating on low until just combined. Stir in the pecans and coconut.1 ¼ cup flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon salt, 2 ½ cups old-fashioned oats, 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes or shredded coconut, ½ cup pecans
- Shape the dough: Form dough balls about 2 tablespoons each. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, gently pressing down and smoothing the edges. The cookies won’t spread much, so shape them as you’d like them to look.
- Bake: Bake for about 12 minutes, adjusting the time slightly based on your oven. Enjoy!

Notes
Sugar - Brown sugar (light or dark brown sugar) and white sugar. I used dark for a more darker and caramel flavored cookie. Coconut sugar could also be used for added coconut flavor in this oatmeal coconut cookies recipe.
These cookies are not too sweet and are more on the healthier side. If you want something sweet and buttery, these cookies are not it.
