Notes & Tips

  • It is best to toast coconut and pecan nuts for an extra toasty flavor.
  • You may want to change baking to longer time if you want them a little crispy or go less for a chewy and softer cookie. They are both very tasty.
  • You can also make small cookies using a tablespoon instead of the ice cream scooper if you want more cookies out of the batch. Be sure watch them while cooking just in case they cook faster if you do.

Substitutions & Shortcuts

  • You can replace the pecan nuts with other nuts or completely remove it if you are allergic to them. Otherwise, adding more types of nuts is also a good idea if you want extra nutty flavors. Macadamia are always welcome.
  • If you want to make a low-carb version of this, try using almond flour instead of the all-purpose flour.
