Ingredients: ½ tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature (1 1/2 sticks); 1 cup light brown sugar; 1 large egg, at room temperature; 1 tablespoon vanilla extract; 1 1/2 cups flour; 1/2 cup unsweetened dutch cocoa; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt; 2 cups sweetened flaked coconut (shredded coconut fine too); 1 cup pecans, lightly toasted, then coarsely chopped; 4 ounces German chocolate, coarsely chopped (Baker's)

Servings: persons

½ tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature (1 1/2 sticks)
1 cup light brown sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup unsweetened dutch cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups sweetened flaked coconut (shredded coconut fine too)
1 cup pecans, lightly toasted, then coarsely chopped
4 ounces German chocolate, coarsely chopped (Baker's)

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
2
Combine the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer or hand-held electric mixer. Beat on low speed to start, then on medium speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
3
Add the egg and then the vanilla extract, beating well between additions. Scrape down the sides of the bowl; then, on low speed, add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt; beat until everything is well incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the coconut, pecans and chocolate, mixing until well combined.
4
Drop the dough by heaping teaspoons onto the baking sheets, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart. (Alternatively, the dough can be rolled into a log, then cut into thin slices.) Bake one sheet at a time for 10 to 12 minutes, until the undersides of the cookies begin to firm up. The tops may still look shiny. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
