Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (80g) sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup (115g) pecan halves, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup (112g) unsalted butter, room temp
  • 1/2 cup (95g) shortening
  • 3/4 cup (150g) packed light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 cups (200g) quick oats
  • 1 1/4 cups (162g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (180g) milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (90g) toffee bits
  • flaky sea salt, for topping


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Spread the coconut and pecans on the pan and bake for 5 minutes. Toss and bake for another 3 to 4 minutes or until golden and fragrant. Leave everything on the pan to cool.
  3. In a very large bowl, mix together the butter, shortening, brown sugar, and sugar until creamy and smooth using a hand or stand mixer with a paddle attachment, about 1 minute on medium speed. Then mix in the eggs and vanilla until well combined.
  4. Scrape down the bowl and mix in the baking soda and salt. Follow by adding the oats. Switch to a silicone spatula and fold in the flour, coconut, and pecans. Just before everything is fully blended, add the milk chocolate chips and toffee, folding to bring the dough together. It's a lot of dough and mix-ins, so take your time!
  5. Using a large cookie scoop (3 tablespoons worth), scoop 4 to 5 cookies onto the baking sheet, leaving about 4 fingers space between each cookie.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges and high points are golden and the centers appear slightly underdone. Use a fork to nudge in any wonky sides when they’re fresh from the oven. Top each cookie with a sprinkle of sea salt and allow to rest on the pan for a couple of minutes before transferring to a cooling rack while you continue to bake the rest of the batch.
  7. Once cooled, the cookies will be perfectly chewy! Enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to let the cookies cool completely for the best texture.
For a gluten-free version, use certified gluten-free oats and a gluten-free flour blend.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
