Two kinds of chocolate plus walnuts and coconut equals one tempting treat.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • ¾ cup packed light-brown sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

  • ¼ cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon coarse salt

  • 2 cups white-chocolate chunks (about 9 ounces)

  • 1 ¾ cups sweetened flaked coconut

  • 1 ¾ cups coarsely chopped walnuts, (about 6 ounces)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put butter and sugars in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Mix in eggs, 1 at a time. Stir in vanilla.

  2. Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl. Mix into butter mixture on low speed until well combined. Stir in chocolate, coconut, and walnuts.

  3. Using a 1 1/2-inch ice cream scoop, drop batter onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly. Bake until set, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks 2 minutes. Transfer cookies on parchment to racks to cool completely. Cookies can be stored in airtight containers at room temperature up to 1 week.
