Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter, softened Make sure it is at room temperature.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs Add one at a time.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Spoon and level the flour.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup corn flakes
  • 1 cup roughly chopped pecans Toast for deeper flavor if desired.
  • 1/2 cup coconut flakes
  • 1 (6-oz) cup peanut butter chips
  • 1 (6-oz) cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed.
  6. Gently fold in oats, corn flakes, chopped pecans, coconut flakes, and both peanut butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to form dough balls and arrange them on the prepared baking sheets.
Baking
  1. Bake for 15-17 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
  2. Allow to cool on the baking sheet briefly before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For thicker cookies, let the dough chill a bit before scooping. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for up to three months. Reheat in the microwave for a taste of fresh-baked warmth.
