Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup pecans chopped
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp grade A maple syrup
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 sticks earth balance butter room temperature
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 chia eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups quick rolled oats
  • 1 cup enjoy life semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup enjoy life semi sweet mini chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened cornflakes slightly crushed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350˚F. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a medium size bowl. Set aside.
  • Toast pecans and almonds for 3 minutes. Combine with olive oil and maple syrup and bake for an additional 6-8 minutes until golden brown. This helps develop the flavor of the nuts and will bring a good flavor to the cookies. Set aside to cool.
  • In a large bowl place butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed for 2-3 minute or until light and fluffy, scraping down the bowl half way through.
  • Once the butter mixture is light and fluffy, add your chia eggs a little bit at a time while continuing to beat. Add vanilla and mix.
  • Slowly add your pre-mixed flour mixture a little bit at a time. Once the flour mixture is incorporated add oats, both cups of chocolate chips, coconut, cornflakes and prepared nut mixture. Mix until everything is incorporated.
  • Let dough rest in the fridge covered for 1-2 hours to firm up.
  • Once dough has time to set, scoop out about 2 table spoons worth into your hands and roll into a ball. Place on parchment line baking sheets with enough room to grow. Give them a little press down and send them off to the oven for 12-15 minutes.
  • Let cookies rest for a hot minute or five and then transfer to cooling rack.
  • Enjoy cookies with everyone before they eat them all!!!
