🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- For the Frosting:
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Additional chopped pecans and shredded coconut for topping

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix these dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
4. Stir in the chocolate chips, pecans, and shredded coconut.
5. Drop dough by spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
6. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. For the frosting, beat the peanut butter and butter until smooth. Gradually mix in the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, beating until creamy.
8. Once cooled, frost each cookie generously and sprinkle with extra pecans and coconut.
