Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder sifted
  • 1.5 cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 2 oz German sweet chocolate chopped (or substitute dark chocolate)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 0.75 cup chopped pecans toasted if desired

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla.
  • Sift the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder and salt into the wet ingredients. Fold gently until just combined and a thick batter forms. Do not overmix.
  • Fold in the chopped German sweet chocolate, semi-sweet chips, shredded coconut and chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
  • Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough (about 1.0 tablespoon) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. For uniform cookies, chill dough 10 minutes before baking if it’s very soft.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are set and centers appear slightly glossy. Avoid overbaking to keep brownie-like texture.
  • Allow cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Notes

For extra gooey centers, pull the cookies at the lower end of the bake time. Toast pecans lightly to deepen flavor. Dough can be refrigerated up to 48 hours before baking.
