Here are the instructions to follow to complete this recipe:
- First, you need to heat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C).
- In a large mixing bowl, beat all of the butter together on a medium speed until smooth and creamy, which should take about 1 minute. Next, you need to add in all of the sugars and mix well for about 2 minutes, until the mixture has a nice, smooth consistency. You may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl if necessary to get all the batter incorporated.
- Now, you need to add in the egg and egg yolk to the mixture and beat well until the eggs are fully mixed into the batter.
- Now is the time to add the vanilla and beat it into the mixture until it disappears. If you are using clear vanilla, just beat it for about 15 seconds.
- Next, in a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon together.
- Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and stir until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips, oats, coconut, and pecans.
- Scoop out ¼ cup of the cookie dough and place on a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet. Space the cookies 3-inches apart.
- Bake in the oven for 15 to 18 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let cookies remain on baking sheet for 2 minutes. Transfer cookies to baking rack to continue cooling.
