Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups carob powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.75 cups light brown sugar (packed)
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 1 large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
- 0.75 cups chopped pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, carob powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar with a hand or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the wet mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the shredded unsweetened coconut and chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers appear slightly underbaked (they will firm up as they cool).
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Carob Coconut Pecan Cookies!
