Snow On The Mountain Cookie
Ingredients:
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup packed light brown sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup white chocolate chips
– 1 cup chopped pecans
– 1 cup shredded coconut
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined.
5. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked – this is normal and will result in chewy cookies.
8. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once the cookies are completely cooled, you can optionally drizzle them with melted white chocolate for a snowy effect. Simply melt some white chocolate in the microwave in short intervals, stirring in between until smooth, then drizzle over the cookies using a fork or spoon.
These Snow On The Mountain Cookies are perfect for enjoying alongside a cup of hot cocoa or gifting to friends and family during the holiday season. Their buttery flavor combined with the sweetness of white chocolate, crunchy pecans, and chewy coconut make them a delightful treat that everyone will love. So, gather your ingredients and embrace the joy of baking with this wonderful recipe. Happy baking!
