Zubereitung von Coconut Pecan Cookies
- **Make the Frosting:** In a medium saucepan, combine 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, and 1 large egg. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, for 10-12 minutes or until the mixture thickens and reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Stir in 1/2 cup chopped pecans and 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- **Make the Cookie Dough:** In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 3/4 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut.
- Drop by rounded tablespoons 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
- **Bake:** Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- **Cool:** Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- **Frost and Drizzle:** Once the cookies are completely cool, frost them with the pecan chocolate frosting. Melt the remaining 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the frosted cookies.
