Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set the dry ingredients aside.

  3. In a separate large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and beat until smooth and well incorporated.

  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.

  6. Gently fold in the shredded coconut and chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

  7. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

  8. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.

  9. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

  10. Once the cookies have cooled, drizzle them with caramel sauce for an extra gooey and sweet touch.
