Cookie Monster’s Favorite Cookies

Welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen friends. I must tell y’all what I’ve done.  I’ve perfected the most awesome cookie! Here’s the thing. I like my cookies to stay soft and I can’t ever find the recipe that delivers just the right texture I’m after—until now. I took a bit of this recipe and a bit of that and well, I’m just saying, I may need a medal. And a parade… And a band…Okay, enough of that. I’ll show y’all the ropes.

Cookie Monster’s Favorite Cookies

½ cup butter

1/3 cup brown sugar

1 egg

1/3 cup sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

1 and ¼ cup plain flour

1 tsp. baking powder

¼ tsp. baking soda

¼ tsp. salt

1 cup dark chocolate chips

½ cup shredded coconut

1 cup pecans, crushed

 

You’ll want to take 1/2 cup butter and cream it with 1/3 cup brown sugar and a 1/3 cup white sugar. Add one egg and a teaspoon of vanilla and beat just until blended. In a separate bowl we’ll mix 1 and ¼ cup plain flour with 1/ tsp. baking powder, and a ¼ teaspoon each of baking soda and salt. Now, we’ll take our dry ingredients here and blend ‘em a bit at a time into the wet ones. Then we’ll finish by stirring in the chocolate chips, shredded coconut and chopped pecans. I made mine huge. I mean, I used an ice cream scoop so they’re the size of bakery cookies and one will do ‘ya. We’ll bake these for 12 minutes in a 325 degree oven and enjoy! Enjoy a great cookie, friends, from the All Things Southern kitchen to yours!
