Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (170g) semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (60g) chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup (50g) sweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Make the Cookie Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Add the Mix-Ins:
- Fold in the chocolate chips, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
- Shape the Cookies:
- Scoop tablespoons of dough (about 1 1/2 tablespoons per cookie) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the Cookies:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still look slightly underbaked but will firm up as they cool.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Toast the pecans and coconut lightly before adding them to the dough for extra flavor.
- Substitute dark chocolate chips for a richer taste or white chocolate chips for a sweeter option.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
