Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line one or two baking sheets with parchment paper (this recipe makes about 22–24 cookies; use two sheets if you have them).
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl if using an electric hand mixer), add the 10 Tbsp softened unsalted butter and ½ cup packed brown sugar. Cream on medium–high speed until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the 2 large eggs, one at a time, beating briefly after each addition until combined. Add the 1.5 tsp pure vanilla extract and mix until incorporated. Scrape the bowl again.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ⅓ cups finely ground almond flour, ½ cup quick oats, ½ tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp baking powder, ¼ tsp baking soda, and ½ tsp sea salt.
- Add the dry ingredient mixture to the mixer bowl. Beat on medium speed just until the dough is evenly combined, thick, and sticky. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the mix-ins by hand or on low speed: ⅔ cup chopped raw pecans, ⅔ cup unsweetened shredded coconut, and 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, until they are evenly distributed through the dough.
- If the dough seems very sticky and hard to portion, refrigerate it for at least 15 minutes. If it is manageable, you can proceed to baking immediately.
- Use a spoon or cookie scoop to portion mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet(s), leaving about 2 inches between each mound to allow for spreading. (For regular-sized cookies bake times below are appropriate; for larger cookies space them accordingly.)
- Bake at 350°F for 8–13 minutes, depending on cookie size: 8–11 minutes for regular-sized cookies, 11–13 minutes for large cookies. Bake until the edges are golden brown but the centers may still look slightly soft.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 10–15 minutes so they set. Once firm enough to move, transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Moving them while too warm may cause them to crumble.
