Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
• 1 cup dried cranberries or raisins
• 0.5 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
• 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

Step 6

Fold in the rolled oats, chopped nuts, dried cranberries or raisins, shredded coconut, and chocolate chips (if using) until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Using a medium cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly soft.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
