1/2 cup flaked coconut***
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place the melted butter in a large bowl and stir in
the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Stir in the eggs and vanilla, mixing well.
Stir in the flour, salt, and baking soda (combine these together before adding
in if desired), mixing just until combined. Stir in the oats, chocolate chips,
butterscotch chips, pecans, and coconut.
The dough will be soft, and the cookies will spread while baking. For slightly
thicker cookies, chill the dough for about 30 minutes. Use a 1/4-cup scoop or
measuring cup to form cookies and place on a heavy baking sheet. (Six cookies
will fit on a half-size sheet pan.)
Bake at 350 degrees until the centers are set, about 15-17 minutes. For
crunchier cookies, increase baking time. (You can also make smaller cookies;
just reduce baking time.) Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature
with glasses of very cold milk. Personally I think they taste even better the
second day. And, as with nearly all cookies, they freeze beautifully. Just put
them in a zipper freezer bag and toss it into the freezer. Makes about 18 large
cookies (recipe may be doubled).
*Melting the butter allows you to easily mix the batter by hand rather than with
an electric mixer. it also makes the cookies softer. I simply place a large,
stainless steel mixing bowl directly on a gas stovetop burner, set it on low,
and melt the butter directly in the bowl--then mix in the rest of the
ingredients using a rubber spatula.
**If you can't find butterscotch chips, you might try substituting peanut butter
chips or white chocolate chips. Or probably anything else you can think of--this
recipe is versatile!
