Notes

Use parchment paper: Save yourself some time and use parchment paper when making cookies.
Toast the coconut and pecans: If you want to go the extra mile toasting these ingredients can enhance the flavor.
Measure Ingredients Accurately: Accurate measurement of ingredients is crucial in baking. Use measuring cups or a kitchen scale to measure the ingredients precisely as called for in the recipe. Too much or too little of certain ingredients can affect the final result of your cookies.
Don't over bake: They should be slightly golden brown and set around the edges but still slightly soft in the center. Avoid over-baking to prevent dry cookies.
Use a cookie scoop: To create even sized cookies it's best to use a scoop. I use this scoop.
Cool the cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
