These Coconut Caramel Pecan Cookies are buttery, soft and have thick gooey, caramel loaded centers. The crunchy pecans and coconut flakes add the perfect texture and flavor to these. These can be mixed in one bowl in just a few minutes and take only 10 minutes to bake.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup coconut flakes
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- Centers
- 10 caramels
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, add butter, sugar, egg and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine. Add in flour, cornstarch, and baking soda and whisk until just combined. Fold in coconut flakes and pecans with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, just until combined.
3. Scoop 10 cookie dough balls onto prepared baking sheets. Use your thumb to make an indent in the center of each cookie dough ball. Place caramel in the indent, then cover the caramel with the cookie dough/wrap the cookie dough around the caramel to seal.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 10-11 minutes. Flatten the cookies down after removing from the oven with a rubber spatula to make them thinner/larger.
