Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Mixture:
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 4 oz German sweet chocolate, chopped
Cookie Dough:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 3/4 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Melt chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips and German sweet chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare dough: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Slowly add the melted chocolate and mix until incorporated.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Add mix-ins: Fold in the shredded coconut and chopped pecans.
- Bake: Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra touch, drizzle the cooled cookies with melted chocolate or a caramel glaze.
