Ingredients

  • 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened softened (230 grams) or 1 cup shortening (198) or use ½ cup of each
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed (220 grams)
  • 1 cup white sugar (200 grams)
  • 2 large large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all purpose flour, lightly spooned or weighed (260 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves optional
  • ¾ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup chopped Orange Slices
  • 1 ½ cups oats, old fashioned or quick
  • 1 cup pecans, toasted and chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degree F.
  • Cream butter and both sugars with an electric mixer. Beat in vanilla. Add eggs and beat until blended, scraping the side of the bowl.
  • Thoroughly stir flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together and add to sugar mixture. If using cloves, add them too. Stir until incorporated, then stir in coconut, orange slices, oats and nuts.
  • Shape dough into 2 inch balls (or you can make them smaller) and press them down slightly to make disks. Set about 2 ½ inches apart on parchment lined or ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until they appear set and browned. You can also make them smaller if you'd like.
  • Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
