Equipment

Baking sheet, cooling rack, hand beater

Ingredients

½ cup salted butter
½ cup light or dark brown sugar
¼ cup white sugar 63g
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
1¾ cups all purpose white flour* * See notes for measuring flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cornstarch
½ cup chopped pecans
⅕ cup sweetened shredded coconut
½ cup (optional but recommended) white chocolate chips or white chocolate chunks If you omit white chocolate chips, increase your shredded coconut to ½ cup total.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Melt butter (about 30 seconds in microwave).
In large bowl, add melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar. Beat until thoroughly combined.
Add egg and vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste). Beat until thoroughly combined.
In separate bowl, mix dry ingredients (flour, baking soda and cornstarch).
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until dough forms.
Add pecans, shredded coconut and white chocolate chips. Mix gently by hand or with a spoon.
Roll dough into 12 evenly shaped, round dough balls and place on lined baking sheet (parchment paper or silicon mat/silpat). You can add a few extra toppings on your cookies if you desire (just lightly press them in).
Bake 15-17 minutes at 350°F. If you make smaller cookies, reduce your baking time accordingly.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 10-15 minutes. Do not over bake. They will look fluffy and barely golden. Once they cool, they will be soft and delicious!
Store in airtight container. These cookies also freeze well.

Notes

Tip to Measure Flour: When you measure your flour, do not scoop it out directly as that can lead to using more flour than is needed. To correctly measure your flour, give the flour a stir with a fork or a whisk to loosen it. Spoon the flour into cup until it is heaping, then level with the flat side of a knife.
