Coconut-Pecan Cookies image

This is a buttery coconut-pecan cookie. The crunch comes from the pecans and coconut, but the cookie itself is chewy. I do not add salt to this recipe, as I think with salted butter enough salt is present.

Time 20m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup coconut flakes
½ cup chopped pecans
1 cup butter, softened
⅔ cup lightly packed brown sugar
⅔ cup white sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Heat a small skillet over medium-low heat. Toast coconut flakes and pecans in batches until lightly browned and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cream butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together in a bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla extract. Beat to combine.
  • Combine flour and baking soda in a bowl. Add to butter mixture and mix until just combined. Stir in toasted pecans and coconut.
  • Place scoops of dough on the prepared baking sheet using a 1 1/2-tablespoon spring-hinged scoop.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes. Carefully remove from baking sheet and transfer to a cooling rack.

These cookies were a bit too crumbly. I would recommend chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.

I found these cookies to be a bit dry. I would recommend adding a little bit of milk to the dough.
