Ingredients
1 cup butter, melted
1 ½ cups packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup chopped pecans
2 ounces semisweet or German chocolate, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and let the mixture stand for 5 minutes.
Add the egg and egg yolk to the butter mixture, stirring to combine. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the shredded coconut, chopped pecans, and chocolate chunks.
Using a medium cookie scoop (about 1.5 tablespoons), drop scoops of dough 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are set but the centers remain soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
