Ah, Coconut Pecan Cookies — Chocolate with Grace sounds like a classic indulgence: chewy, nutty, with a hint of tropical coconut and chocolatey goodness. Here’s a simple, elegant recipe you can follow at home:
Coconut Pecan Chocolate Cookies
Ingredients (Makes ~24 cookies)
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Cream Butter and Sugars
- In a large bowl, beat butter + brown sugar + granulated sugar until creamy and fluffy (~2–3 minutes).
3. Add Eggs & Vanilla
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
5. Fold in Coconut, Pecans, and Chocolate
- Gently fold in shredded coconut, chopped pecans, and chocolate chips.
6. Scoop and Bake
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop 1–2 tbsp dough per cookie onto baking sheet, leaving space to spread.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden.
7. Cool
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for Perfection
- Toasted coconut adds extra depth — toast in oven 5 min at 325°F before adding to dough.
- Chill dough 30 min for thicker cookies.
- Use a mix of semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips for richer flavor.
- Pecans can be lightly toasted to enhance nutty aroma.
💡 Serving Idea:
- Serve warm with a glass of milk or coffee.
- Can drizzle with melted chocolate or dust with powdered sugar for extra elegance.
