  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup butter unsalted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation
  1. Gather all your ingredients. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.

Combine Ingredients
  1. As your mixture heats up, keep stirring until it becomes bubbly; then remove it from heat.
  2. Add in the shredded coconut and chopped pecans, mixing thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
Form the Cookies
  1. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop heaping spoonfuls of the mixture onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
  2. Allow them to cool at room temperature until set, or refrigerate for 15-30 minutes for faster results.
Storage
  1. Once firm, your cookies are ready to enjoy! Store them in an airtight container for optimal freshness.

Notes

You can substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds if desired. Ensure the mixture does not overheat to prevent grainy texture. Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week or frozen for up to three months.
