For the Cookie Base
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Consider gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option.

  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
For the Flavor Boost
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chunks Feel free to swap with your favorite chocolate type.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the butter in the microwave or over low heat, then stir in the granulated and brown sugars until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add an egg to the mixture and blend until fully incorporated.
  4. Sift all-purpose flour and baking soda in a separate bowl, then gradually fold into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chunks, sweetened coconut flakes, and chopped pecans.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
