Ingredients

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons vanilla
1 1/2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour (or all-purpose flour)
1 1/2 cups oats
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 cup shredded coconut (toasted)
1 cup walnuts chopped (toasted)
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup chopped dates, raisins, cranberries, or dried cherries

NOTES

*note, definitely take the time to toast the coconut & nuts, makes a huge difference. Just put them on your cookie tray in the preheating oven for 5-10 min.
*you can get creative with the combos, I went heavy on the milk chocolate chips and light on the dried cherries. Perfection!

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Cream together butter and brown sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix well. Add in the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and mix well.

3. Toast the coconut and walnuts in the oven for about 5 minutes or so. Add them to the mix along with the chocolate chips, dates, and raisins. Mix until combined.

4. Drop by large tablespoons on a cookie sheet. You can refrigerate the cookies for a few minutes to prevent them from spreading out too much when they bake. (I definitely did this!) Bake for 12ish minutes (keep an eye on them).
