  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Gathering your ingredients feels like the calm before the storm—a moment to savor as you prepare to create something delightful. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut

Tip: If you’re out of pecans, walnuts make a great substitute. And if you’re feeling adventurous, a pinch of cinnamon can add a warm twist to the flavor profile.

Instructions

Turning these ingredients into a batch of cookies is simpler than you might think. Let’s get started:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips, pecans, and coconut, making sure they’re evenly distributed.
  7. Drop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Remember, cookies continue to bake on the sheet even after you take them out of the oven, so don’t worry if they seem a little underdone at first.
