Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 cup Pecans (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Vegan butter (softened)
- 0.75 cups Coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
- 2 tablespoons Plant-based milk (e.g., almond, soy, oat)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a skillet over medium heat, toast the shredded coconut for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, using an electric mixer or whisk, cream together the vegan butter and coconut sugar until light and fluffy (about 1-2 minutes).
Add the plant-based milk and vanilla extract to the wet mixture, mixing until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined (do not overmix).
Fold in the toasted coconut and chopped pecans using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie and roll into balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Gently flatten the cookie dough balls with the palm of your hand, as these cookies won't spread much during baking.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking as the cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
