Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk or Electric Hand Mixer
  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment Paper
  • Cookie Scoop
  • Oven
  • Oven Mitts
  • Cooling Rack
  • Storage Containers

Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded coconut toasted
  • 1 cup pecans finely chopped
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350�F (175�C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the shredded coconut until golden brown. Be sure to stir frequently to prevent burning. Once toasted, set aside to cool.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Fold in the toasted coconut and chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  1. Toast Coconut Well: Achieve a golden brown color for a flavorful boost.
  2. Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for smoother blending.
  3. Precise Measurements: Accurate measuring guarantees the perfect balance of flavors and textures.
  4. Monitor Baking Time: Watch closely to achieve golden edges without overcooking.
