Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 300F and position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the
oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2 Combine oats, coconut, flour, salt, cinnamon and brown sugar in a large bowl;
whisk to blend.
3 Combine butter, maple syrup and corn syrup in a medium saucepan. Heat over
medium heat until butter melts, stirring occasionally; remove from heat.
4 Combine baking soda and boiling water, stirring to dissolve. Add to maple syrup
mixture, stirring well. Add maple extract. Stir into dry ingredients. Add
pecans; stir well.
5 Place ¼-cup size balls of dough on baking sheets, 3 inches apart. Flatten
slightly.
6 Bake 18 to 20 minutes, until golden brown and set, rotating positions halfway
through the baking process. Cool on the baking sheets 5 minutes; transfer to a
wire rack to cool completely.
