Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
  • 1 cup butter softened
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 7 ½ oz 1 2/3 cups gently spooned and levelled all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp coarse salt
  • 1 ½ cups large-flake oats not quick or instant oats
  • 1 cup dried fruit I used combination of cherries, cranberries and blueberries, plus extra for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spread the coconut and pecans on a baking sheet and toast for 6-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until coconut turns deep golden brown (watch closely as it burns fast). Spread on a plate and pop in the freezer to cool while you make the cookie dough.
  • Beat butter with sugars in standing mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, 4 minutes, pausing twice to scrape down sides of bowl. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk flour with baking soda and salt. Add to stand mixer and beat on low speed to combine. Beat in oats, dried fruit, and cooled coconut/pecan mixture.
  • Scoop dough by heaping tablespoonfuls and place 2" apart on parchment-paper-lined baking sheets. Top with a sprinkle of dried fruit, if desired.
  • Bake cookies for about 9-11 minutes, until edges are golden and centres appear just slightly underdone. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheets then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
