Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar using an electric hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Fold in the shredded coconut and chopped pecans using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between cookies.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the pans for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy your Coconut Pecan Cookies with a glass of milk or as a sweet treat any time of day!
