  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Introduces depth of flavor to elevate your cookies.

  • 1.75 cups pecans (roughly chopped) Adds a delightful crunch and nutty flavor.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, baking soda, salt, and flour. Gradually add this mixture to the creamed ingredients while mixing on low speed.
  4. Gently fold in the shredded coconut, dried blueberries, and chopped pecans into the dough.
  5. Using a cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll into balls, placing them on the prepared baking sheets.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes for XL cookies, or 8-9 minutes for mini cookies until lightly golden around the edges.
  7. Let the cookies cool on baking sheets for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
