1

Line a [baking tray] and preheat oven to 350°F (180°C)*.
2

Add the unsalted margarine (0.667 cup), light brown sugar (0.667 cup), and granulated sugar (0.5 cup) to a large bowl. Whip with an [electric hand mixer] or cream using a fork.
3

Add the unsweetened applesauce (0.333 cup), ground flaxseeds (1 tbsp), ground cinnamon (2 tsp), pure vanilla extract (1 tsp), baking powder (1 tsp), baking soda (1 tsp), and salt (0.5 tsp). Whip again, until everything is well combined.
4

Add the all purpose flour (2 cup), rolled oats (2 cup), and shredded coconut (1.333 cup). Gently fold these into the dough with a spoon until partially combined.
5

Fold in the pecans (1 cup) and dark chocolate chips (0.75 cup). Stir again until just combined, but try not to over-mix.
6

Scoop up a ¼ cup of the dough and roll it into a ball. Then flatten to create a cookie that's about 1½ cm thick**.
7

Place the cookies on the prepared [baking tray], leaving about 3 cm space between each cookie. If desired, press some [dark chocolate chips] or chopped [pecans] onto the top of each cookie before baking.
8

Bake in the centre rack of the oven for 12 - 14 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let the cookies rest for a few minutes on the [baking tray] before transferring them to a [wire rack] to cool completely. Enjoy!
