Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- Large microwave-safe mixing bowl.
- Stir brown sugar into melted butter.
- Let stand 5 minutes.
- Add egg and egg yolk; stir to combine.
- Stir in vanilla extract.
- Add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until just combined.
- Stir in coconut, pecans, and chocolate chunks.
- Using a medium cookie scoop (1.5 tablespoon), drop scoops of dough 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheet.
- Bake for about 8-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are set.
- Let cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes. Remove to wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
- Flour: Correctly measuring the ingredients is key. I suggest either weighing the ingredients or aerating the flour (sifting or fluffing) and then scooping and leveling. Packing in too much flour will cause the cookies not to spread or to be dry and crumbly.
- Kosher salt: Or scant 1/2 teaspoon table salt
- Mixing: I recommend stirring this recipe together by hand rather than using a hand or stand mixer. Mixing by hand will help you avoid overworking the cookie dough.
