Ingredients

Scale

1 cup butter (softened)
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup corn flakes
1 cup pecans (chopped and toasted)
1/2 cup coconut flakes
1 cup peanut butter chips
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Toast pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–5 minutes until fragrant and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, cream the softened butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add both sugars and mix well.
Beat in the eggs one at a time followed by the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Combine the flour with salt, baking powder, and baking soda; gradually add to the wet mixture without overmixing.
Fold in oats, corn flakes, toasted pecans, coconut flakes, peanut butter chips, and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Chill the dough for at least one hour (or up to 24 hours) in the fridge for enhanced flavor.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop quarter-cup portions of dough onto the prepared sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
Bake for 12–14 minutes until golden around the edges but still slightly shiny in the center.
Allow cookies to cool before enjoying.
