Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter softened
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth.
- Add the flour, cornstarch, and baking soda. Mix well. Add the coconut and pecans. Stir to mix throughout the dough.
- Scoop into 2 tablespoon dough amounts and roll into balls. Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 9-11 minutes. Remove from the oven when puffy and barely cooked through, do not let them brown.
- Let cookies cool 1 minute on the tray and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes
FREEZER TIP: This cookie dough can be frozen until ready to bake. Scoop into balls and flash freeze on a paper plate or tray. Transfer the frozen dough to a zip-close freezer bag. Cookies can be baked from frozen (allow an extra 2-3 minutes for baking) or thawed and then baked.
