    A search on the Internet for a coconut pecan cookie recipe brought a few candidates forward and fortunately the first I tested was a slam-dunk. This is chewy, somewhat crunchy and divinely coconutty. I stayed very close to the original and glad it turned out so well. Kudos to Mike at his betterbaking.com blog for this toothsome cookie recipe.

    Ingredients

    • 2 cups all purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda

    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • ½ teaspoon coconut extract (or 1/4 teaspoon almond extract)
    • 1 rounded cup pecans, chopped and toasted lightly
    • 3 cups coconut, lightly packed

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
    2. Mix together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.

    5. Scoop dough by lightly rounded tablespoons and arrange on prepared baking sheets, two to three inches apart to allow for spread.
