Cowboy Cookies

12 tablespoons salted butter, softened (1 1/2 sticks)
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg (plus 1 egg yolk)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (used less)
1 cup pecans, chopped

In a large mixing bowl, beat butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Add in the sugars and mix well for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl if necessary.
Add the egg and egg yolk and beat well.
Beat in the vanilla.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder baking soda and cinnamon together.
Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and stir until just combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips, oats, coconut, and pecans.
Scoop out 1/4 cup of the cookie dough and place on a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet. Space the cookies 3-inches apart.
Bake in the oven for 17 to 20 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let cookies remain on baking sheet for 2 minutes. Transfer cookies to baking rack to continue cooling.
