Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the oats, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and shredded coconut until everything is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best chewy texture; quick oats make cookies crumbly.

Substitute nuts with pumpkin or sunflower seeds for allergies.

Refrigerate dough up to 24 hours before baking to deepen flavor.

Chill dough briefly if too soft to prevent spreading.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Reheat baked cookies in oven at 300°F (150°C) for 5 minutes to restore softness.

Optional: Swap nuts for almonds or cashews, reduce coconut for chewier cookies, or add white chocolate/butterscotch chips for extra sweetness.

Sprinkle sea salt on top before baking for flavor enhancement.
