Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
- 1 cup chopped pecans (toasted)
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In another bowl, beat softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients until combined. Fold in coconut flakes and toasted pecans gently.
- Scoop and Bake: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are firm but centers remain soft.
- Cool and Serve: Transfer cookies to plates or wire racks to cool slightly before serving warm or let them cool completely.
