# Ingredients:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - 1 cup butter
02 - 1¾ cups light brown sugar
03 - 1 egg
04 - 1 egg yolk
05 - 2 teaspoons vanilla

→ Dry Ingredients

06 - 2½ cups all-purpose flour
07 - 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
08 - ½ teaspoon baking soda
09 - ½ teaspoon kosher salt
10 - ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
11 - ¾ cup white chocolate chips
12 - ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
13 - 1 cup coconut

→ Gluten-Free Alternative

14 - 1¾ cups brown rice flour
15 - ½ cup tapioca starch
16 - ¼ cup potato starch
17 - 1 teaspoon xanthan gum

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 325°F.
02 - In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat and add brown sugar. Stir until well incorporated and mostly smooth. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
03 - While the butter mixture cools, mix together the dry ingredients (flour, oats, baking soda, kosher salt, and cinnamon) and set aside.
04 - Whisk together the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Add this to the cooled butter and sugar mixture, stirring to combine.
05 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three stages, stirring to combine.
06 - Allow the mixture to cool completely before adding the white and semi-sweet chocolate chips, along with the coconut. Stir well to distribute evenly.
07 - Scoop the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roll each portion into a ball and press down lightly to flatten.
08 - Bake for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 1-2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure the dough is cooled completely before mixing in the chocolate chips to avoid melting.
