Ingredients:

• 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, melted until browned 🧈
• 1 ½ cups (319 grams) light brown sugar, packed 🍯
• ½ cup (99 grams) granulated sugar 🍚
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature 🥚🥚
• 1 large egg yolk, at room temperature 🥚
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 🍦
• 2 ⅓ cups (270 grams) all-purpose flour 🌾
• 1 teaspoon baking soda 🥄
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 🌿
• ½ teaspoon salt 🧂
• 2 cups (178 grams) old-fashioned oats 🌾
• ¾ cup (60 grams) sweetened flaked coconut 🥥
• ½ cup (64 grams) pecans, roughly chopped, plus more for decorating 🌰
• 12 ounces (340 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips 🍫
• 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt, optional 🧂

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. 🔥
2. Brown the butter: In a large bowl, whisk together the browned butter and both sugars until well combined, about 2 minutes. Don’t worry if they look a little separated here. 🍯🍚
3. Add the eggs: Whisk in the eggs and yolk, beating until well combined, about 45 seconds. Whisk in the vanilla. 🍦
4. Mix the dry ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, oats, coconut, pecans, and chocolate chips. 🌾🍫🌿
5. Combine ingredients: Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. 👩‍🍳
6. Form the cookies: Scoop 2-inch balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each ball so they have room to spread. 🍪
7. Bake: Bake one sheet at a time, in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until cookies are golden and set at the edges and still slightly soft in the center. ⏳
8. Optional toppings: Press extra chocolate chips and pecans on top of cookies when they come out of the oven. Sprinkle with sea salt, if desired. 🍫🌰🧂
9. Cool: Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. 🌬️
