These Santa-worthy Chocolate Pecan Coconut Cookies are not only incredibly delicious, they’re also made with only four ingredients. With this recipe, you’ll be the MVB (most valuable baker) of your cookie exchange or holiday party!
On the first day of Christmas, Santa gave to me – Chocolate Pecan Coconut Cookies! As we countdown the days until the arrival of my all-time favorite holiday, I’ve been busy baking up a storm of sweetness. My mom and I combined forces this weekend in preparation for her annual Cookie Exchange with friends. Each year they get together for a competitive cookie showdown that consists of baking, taste testing, and judging of various categories.
The recipe she chose is fool proof and only requires four ingredients. It never lets us down which is why I’ll be re-creating it for the Ugly Sweater party I’m hosting next Sunday. The combination of toasted coconut, chocolate chips, and chopped pecans – all coated in sweetened condensed milk – is what dessert table dreams are made of.
These cookies may take less than 20 minutes to make and bake, but you would never know it based on how they taste. Each bite is moist, chewy, and filled with milk chocolate chips. They remind me of my favorite chocolate dipped coconut macaroons from Godiva! If that doesn’t temp you, they also stay fresh and moist for several days after they’re made.

What kind of cookies do you enjoying making during the holidays?
Please deliver some of these STAT! Lol They look so yummy!!
About how many cookies does this recipe make?
Each batch should make 2 dozen cookies 🙂
We had pecan trees in our yard growing up, so we always had pecans on hand, and they were free.
These look amazing! I’ll have to try! Thank you!
These look so delicious. I love coconut macaroons. I would love to make these.
? looks so yummy and seems so easy! Definitely trying these after I get my lil one to nap. Thanks!!
Made these today. Hubby, son & I really like them!
So happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing. I haven’t made a batch of these in so long. I don’t think I can wait until the holidays this year! 🙂
Made these a few years ago and they were delicious: I made a batch today And no matter what I did they spread all over the pan . Can you help me and tell me what I could have done wrong?
Hi Barbara! I am going to edit the recipe for this post because it’s rather old. I would recommend portioning out the dough and refrigerating it before you bake. This should prevent them from spreading. The oven should also be at temperature before baking. I hope this helps!
Hi what is sweetened coconut flakes
I used Baker’s Angel Flake Sweetened Coconut. They can be found in the baking aisle of the grocery store. They are typically in the same section as the chocolate chips. They are just coconut flakes with sugar!
I added a cup of white chocolate morsels and used Dolce De Leche instead of sweetened condensed milk. I am very happy with the result.
Great idea Chuck! I will have to try that for this year’s batch. It’s tough to screw this recipe up. Definitely a favorite.
Made a batch a couple of days ago…22 cookies…All gone…Starting another batch today.
So glad they were a hit! I am getting ready to make a few batches too. These cookies are always a huge hit around the holidays!
hi there ! could we replace condensed milk for coconut milk ?
Hello! So when it comes to texture, the two are pretty different. Condensed milk is much thicker and it acts as a binding agent for all the ingredients. Coconut Milk may not be the best substitute because it’s so much thinner, but they have something called cream of coconut that would work! Hope this helps.
