- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs, room temperature

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking sheets by greasing them lightly or lining them with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes). Then, add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, and incorporate vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until everything is combined.
Mixing and Baking
- Stir in the rolled oats, chocolate chips, and optional shredded coconut and chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches of space between each dollop.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Cooling and Serving
- Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
