• Unsalted butter contributes richness and flavor to these cookies without adding in extra salt. I find using room temperature butter works best when baking cookies.

• Brown sugar helps to enhance the flavor of the pecan coconut cookies while helping with the moisture and texture.
• Eggs act as a binding agent to help hold the ingredients together in these delicious cookies. They also help to hold and maintain the shape and desirable texture of the cookies.
• Vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor profile of these cookies. I love to use my homemade bourbon vanilla extract to bring out that nutty flavor of the pecans.
• All purpose flour serves as the primary structural component. As well as contributing to the overall thickness and chewiness of the cookies.
• Baking soda is the leavening agent that helps the cookies to rise and achieve a light and airy texture.
• Salt enhances the overall flavor of the cookies.
• Coconut flakes add flavor, texture, and a delightful tropical twist. While also helping with the chewiness of the cookies.

How To Make

Now that we have all the ingredients needed to make these delightful treats let's get to making them. I like to use my stand mixer but a large bowl and a hand mixer will work great for making these cookies.

Into the large bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Cream butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract.

If you want to bring in more of a nutty flavor to these cookies, try using our homemade bourbon vanilla extract recipe.

In a separate bowl sift the all purpose flour, salt, and baking soda together. Then slowly add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until combined. Scrapping the sides of the bowl as needed.

Now that those are combined it's time to mix in the sweetened coconut flakes, chopped pecans, and chocolate chips. To get the same sized cookies I prefer to use a large cookie scoop.

But you could also use a kitchen scale and weigh out the cookie dough before placing it on a sheet pan.

Once the cookie dough balls are placed onto a prepared baking sheet place in a 375 degree oven that has been preheated. Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes or until done.

The tops of the cookies will be golden brown. Remove the cookie sheet pan from the oven.

Allow the cookies to sit for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire cooling rack. These chewy cookies taste amazingly slightly warm with a cold glass of milk or with a hot cup of coffee.
