📝 Preparation Steps
1
Begin by browning the butter. Place the butter in a saucepan set over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until light brown bits form on the bottom of the pan and the butter begins to turn golden brown and smell nutty. Watch it closely as it can go from brown to burned quickly. Immediately transfer the butter into your mixing bowl along with any accumulated brown bits. Allow the butter to cool at room temperature for ⏱️ 30 minutes.
2
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
3
In a separate bowl (not the bowl the butter is in), combine 1 cup oats, 1 cup ground oats (see note), flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, baking powder and salt.
(226g) salted butter (cut into large pieces)1 cup(160g) old fashioned oats (see note)2 cups(250g) all purpose flour2 cupscornstarch1 tablespoon(220g) dark brown sugar (packed)1 cup(120g) chopped toasted pecans1 cup
4
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat brown butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for a full minute. Add eggs and vanilla, beating until combined.

5
Add the oat mixture to the wet ingredients beating until well combined.
6
Add the coconut, pecans, chocolate chips*, and toffee bits, stirring until well combined.*I usually reserve ¼ cup of the chocolate chips for topping the cookies.
7
Scoop generous 2-tablespoon portions of dough and form the dough into thick flat discs (this helps the cookies spread nicely). Place the discs a couple inches apart on prepared baking sheets and bake for ⏱️ 9-12 minutes. The cookies will have spread, the edges should be set but the middle of the cookies still slightly under baked. Add the reserved chocolate chips to the top of the warm cookies and sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if desired. Place the baking sheets on wire racks to cool for ⏱️ 15 minutes, then transfer the cookies directly to the rack.
