Swig's Coconut Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies

I got this from Jen's Favorite Cookies. I think it needs more butter. I need to play with this recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoon baking soda
• 4 cups flour
• 2 cups chocolate chips
• 1 cup pecans
• 2 cups shredded coconut

Instructions

• Cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Add eggs and mix well.
• Add salt, baking soda, and flour. Mix just until combined.
• Carefully fold in chocolate chips, pecans, and coconut, taking care not to overmix.
• Wrap dough tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for one hour or more. Use a 1/4-cup measure to create large cookies. Flatten slightly and place on baking sheet, leaving plenty of space between cookies. (I only put 6 cookies on a half sheet pan.)
• Bake at 350F for 14-16 minutes, until edges are slightly brown. Let cool on pan for 1-2 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.

Chicken or Beef Teriyaki

I tried this but I left the chicken and beef whole. I think I would slice it next time. Especially the beef for more flavor in the meat. But I really liked the taste of the meat.

Recipe from the Polynesian Cultural Center
