Equipment

  • Silpat liners or parchment paper
  • Cookie scoop

Ingredients
  

  • cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup vegetable or canola oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup crispy rice cereal
  • 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup toffee bits
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • flakey sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Place flour, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl, and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • Cream together softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer until it becomes light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes on high speed.
  • Add the egg and vanilla and combine with creamed butter and sugars.
  • With mixer on low speed, slowly stream in all of the oil. Increase speed to high and keep blending until it's completely incorporated with the other ingredients, about 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
  • Reduce speed to low again and slowly add dry ingredients to the bowl. Keep mixing until the flour mixture is fully incorporated and you have a smooth batter.
  • Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir in crispy rice cereal, rolled oats, chopped pecans, toffee pieces, white chocolate chips, and shredded coconut.
  • Using a cookie dough scoop, scoop dough out onto a cookie sheet and refrigerate dough for 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 325℉.
  • Transfer refrigerated balls of dough onto a silpat or parchment lined cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Do not crowd cookies, they will spread while baking.
  • Sprinkle the top of each cookie with a pinch of sea salt.
  • Bake for 16-20 minutes or until cookies are a light golden brown along the edges.
  • Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet.
  • Transfer cookies to a rack and allow them to cool to room temperature. Cookies will initially be very soft but will firm up as they cool.
