Instructions
- Preparation of Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Once thoroughly combined, set this mixture aside.
- Creaming Butter and Sugars: Utilize the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. In it, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is well blended and smooth.
- Incorporating Eggs and Vanilla: Proceed to mix in one egg into the butter and sugar mixture. Following this, add the second egg along with the vanilla extract. Ensure to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to integrate all ingredients evenly.
- Adding Flour Mixture: Gradually add the previously prepared flour mixture to the creamed mixture. Mix these ingredients until they are just combined, taking care not to overmix.
- Incorporating Mix-ins: To the dough, add 1 1/2 cups of the semi-sweet chocolate chips, along with the rolled oats, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans. If necessary, due to the size of the mixer, fold these ingredients in by hand using a wooden spoon to prevent overflowing.
- Chilling the Dough: Cover the bowl containing the dough and chill in the refrigerator. This is done to reduce the stickiness of the dough and to make it easier to handle, a process taking approximately 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit during the last 15 minutes of chilling.
- Forming the Cookies: Scoop the dough, measuring 3 tablespoons per cookie (about 50 grams each), and roll them into balls. Press the remaining chocolate chips into the surface of each dough ball, approximately 5 or 6 chips per ball.
- Baking Preparation: Arrange 12 dough balls on a parchment paper-lined 18 by 13-inch baking sheet, ensuring each is spaced 2 inches apart. Keep any remaining dough refrigerated until ready for use.
- Baking: Flatten the dough balls slightly before placing them in the preheated oven. Bake until the cookies are set on the edges and appear lightly golden brown on the bottom, but still slightly raw in the centers. This process should take about 13 to 16 minutes.
- Cooling: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat the baking process with the remaining cookie dough. Store the baked cookies in an airtight container.
