Recipe Description

A wonderful trio of chocolate, almonds and coconut!

Preparation Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F and prepare two sheet pans with parchment paper or Silpats. Set aside.

2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until creamy.

3. Add the eggs and beat until creamy

4. Meanwhile mix together the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda and salt) in a separate bowl.

5. Add the dry ingredients into the mixing bowl and mix on low speed until you have a thick cookie dough.

6. Add the coconut, chocolate chips and almonds and mix until well combined.

7. Scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared pans, making sure to leave ample room between each, and bake at 350 F for about 10 minutes. (When you take the cookies out of the oven they should still be a bit doughy looking in the middle—they will stiffen up).

Enjoy

D-I-V-I-N-E….. these cookies are divine. They were easy and the texture is wonderful. I even halved the recipe and it still made 3-1/2 dozen cookies. THX so much for sharing.

I thought these were great. I only had unsweetened coconut and sliced almonds, so that’s what I used. I also halved the recipe and still came out with 36 cookies.

Very good cookies.. not to sweet and hard to only have one of.

Mmmmm so good. I added a tbsp of cocoa powder and ground whole almonds instead of the slivers. Delish!

These are a nice alternative to plain chocolate chip cookies. They are somewhat light and delicate, almost like a Pepperidge Farm cookie. I only added two cups of chocolate chips and it was plenty. Using my medium cookie scoop, the recipe yielded 55 cookies. I will be making these again!

These were amazing! I used just 1 cup each of nuts, coconut, and chocolate chips, and they turned out awesome. Make sure to take them out BEFORE the edges turn golden brown, unless you want a pretty crisp cookie.
