About the Recipe
While I know there are not many German chocolate fans out there, I swear these cookies will change your mind. They have become my absolute favorite cookie to make and I am not even a coconut fan either. Not only are they a quick bake, but also are very easy to put together!
Ingredients
1 cup flour
1/2 cup natural cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 stick of unsalted butter (at room temp)
1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup lightly toasted sweetened coconut shreds
1 cup chopped bittersweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans

Toast your coconut shreds for 5 min at 350F.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix and sift your flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together.
