Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix rolled oats, flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. Set aside.
Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar on medium until creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla and molasses until mixed in.
Gradually add dry ingredients on low speed until just incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in chocolate chips, pecans, and coconut by hand or on very low speed until combined.
Drop dough using a 2-tablespoon scoop onto prepared sheets, spacing them 2 to 3 inches apart.
Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until edges are set and golden, while centers remain soft.
Sprinkle warm cookies with flaky sea salt; let rest on the baking sheet for 2 to 3 minutes before cooling on a wire rack.

Notes

Make sure all wet ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
You can replace chocolate chips with your favorite kind of chips if desired.
Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
