Ingredients
Scale:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans, optional)
1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
In another bowl, cream the softened butter until fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, nuts, and coconut, if using.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set but slightly soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
