Coconut Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup shredded coconut, toasted
- 1 cup sliced almonds, toasted
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Toast the coconut and almonds: Spread the shredded coconut and sliced almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
- Make the cookie dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Add mix-ins: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, toasted coconut, and almonds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop the cookies: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
