Delicious and chewy coconut pecan cookies, perfect for a sweet treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter
  • 1½ cup (180 g) all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ½ cup (46 g) toasted pecans, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup (60 g) shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Melt the unsalted butter in a small bowl and cool in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the cooled melted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and well combined.
  4. Whisk in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  5. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the shredded coconut and toasted pecans until well combined.
  7. Cover the cookie dough and transfer to the fridge to chill for 30 minutes while the oven preheats.
  8. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) for about 20 – 30 minutes before baking the cookies.
  9. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  10. Using a medium cookie scoop (2 tablespoons, 30 ml), scoop the coconut and pecan cookie dough into balls and place onto the lined baking sheet about 3 inches (8 cm) apart.
  11. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 9 – 11 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are set and are a light golden brown.
  12. Reshape any cookies using a biscuit or cookie cutter slightly wider than the cookie. Place the cutter over the cookies so the edges of the cookie are inside the cookie/biscuit cutter. In a circular motion, gently nudge the edges back into a round shape.
  13. Cool the chewy pecan coconut cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
  14. Then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely to room temperature and enjoy.

Notes

  • Make sure to use room temperature ingredients for better blending.
  • Toasting the pecans enhances their flavor.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container for freshness.
