Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
- 0.75 cup Chocolate chips (semi-sweet)
- 0.5 cup Sliced almonds
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and beat until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the shredded coconut, chocolate chips, and sliced almonds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon-sized scoop or a spoon, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear slightly underbaked.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve the cookies once cooled, and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
