Ingredients

1 cup butter (2 sticks), softened

¾ cup brown sugar, packed

¾ cup granulated sugar

2 eggs

2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375° F.

Cream butter and sugars together in the bowl of a stand mixer (or by hand) until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla.

Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl and gradually add to the creamed butter and sugar. Add the coconut flakes and mix until well combined. Gently fold in chips and chopped candy bars.

Bakefor 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Turn the pan once half way through baking so they all brown evenly. Let sit for 5 minutes and remove to wire racks to cool.
