Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans

Equipment

Method

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until just combined.
Stir in the rolled oats, Rice Krispies cereal, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, and chopped pecans until everything is evenly distributed.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are set.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Repeat with the remaining dough until all the cookies are baked.

Notes

For best results, make sure the butter is softened to room temperature before starting the recipe. This will help it cream together with the sugars more easily.
