– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs (at room temperature)

– 2 and 1/3 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
– 2 and 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

– 1/2 cup pecans (roughly chopped; walnuts can be substituted)
– 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
1-Whisk together the browned butter and both sugars until combined, which takes about 2 minutes for a creamy mix.
2-Add the eggs and egg yolk, whisking well, then stir in the vanilla extract to build that flavorful base.
3-In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, oats, coconut, pecans, and chocolate chips until everything is evenly mixed.
4-Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ones until just combined; be careful not to overmix to keep the dough tender.
