If you love coconut and pecans, you'll love these cookies! These little cookies are nice and soft and are packed full of coconut and pecan flavor. I got the recipe from a friend but made a few changes to fit my tastes. Delish!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter (i use real butter, but i'm sure it would work fine with margarine- might not be quite as tasty, thou)
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/4 cups pecans
1 3/4 cups sweetened flaked coconut
1 teaspoon baking soda
Directions:
1. Cream butter and sugar together in large bowl. Mix in egg and vanilla.
2. Mix in 1 cup coconut, saving the other 3/4 cup for later use.
3. Combine flour, pecans, and baking soda in small bowl. Mix into coconut mixture.
4. Once well mixed, sprinkle remaining 3/4 cup coconut on work surface.
5. Divide dough into 3 parts and form into rolls, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
6. Roll dough in coconut until coated.
7. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least 1 hour. (dough can be frozen up to 6 weeks).
8. Cut rolls into 1/4 inch thick slices and place on ungreased cookie sheet.
9. Bake at 350 degrees for 13-15 minutes. My oven takes 15.
10. Cool and enjoy!
