Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 sticks butter, softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa, unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch salt
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line with parchment paper (or lightly grease) three baking sheets, and set aside.
- In medium bowl, thoroughly combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
- In large mixing bowl, use hand mixer to blend butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, and eggs.
- Pouring small portions, add flour mixture into the larger bowl with the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Add chocolate chips, coconut, and pecans. Mix well.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop batter onto prepared baking sheets. Each sheet should have at least 1 dozen cookies, depending on the size of your sheet.
- Bake about 8 minutes or until cookies are cooked in the center. Since you can’t use the “golden brown” method to judge when chocolate cookies are done, insert a wooden toothpick into the middle of several cookies to check. If the toothpick comes out clean with no batter or wet crumbs sticking to it, cookies are done.
- Remove cookies from oven and place on a baking rack to cool.
