~ Chocolate Coconut Pecan Cookies ~
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 t baking powder
1/4 t salt
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 t vanilla extract
2 oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
1 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
About 60 pecan halves
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or butter them.
On a piece of wax paper, combine the flour, baking
powder, and salt. In a large bowl, cream the butter
with an electric mixer, add the sugar, and beat until
fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla, then add the
melted chocolate and beat well. Add the flour mixture,
mixing until smooth, then stir in the coconut, chopped
pecans, and chocolate chips. Drop the dough from a
teaspoon onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving about
2 inches between each cookie. Press a pecan half on top
of each cookie. Bake in the middle of the oven for 10 - 13
minutes, or until set. Transfer cookies to wire racks to
cool. Store in airtight containers for up to 1 week or in
the freezer for up to 2 months.
Makes 60 cookies
