Pecan Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Pecan Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). This is the perfect temperature for baking those cookies to golden perfection!

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. This dry mixture will help give your cookies the right structure.

3. Step 3

   In another bowl, combine the butter-flavored shortening and softened butter with the brown sugar and white sugar. Beat them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, creating a delightful base for your cookies.

4. Step 4

   Next, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Don’t forget to add the coconut extract and vanilla extract with the last egg for that extra burst of flavor!

5. Step 5

   Now, gently stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; we want those cookies to be tender and delicious!

6. Step 6

   Fold in the sweetened flaked coconut, chopped pecans, semisweet chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips. This is where the magic happens, and your cookie dough transforms into a delightful mix of textures and flavors!

7. Step 7

   Using a spoon, scoop up the dough and roll it into 1-inch balls. Place these little dough balls about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Give them a gentle flattening to help them spread while baking.

8. Step 8

   Pop the baking sheets into your preheated oven and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown. The aroma will be irresistible!

9. Step 9

   Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect chewy texture.
