Ingredients
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 egg yolk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
3 tablespoons sweetened shredded coconut
3 tablespoons chocolate chips
8 whole almonds (or roughly chopped)
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until smooth.
2. Mix in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until fully combined.
3. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until just incorporated.
4. Fold in shredded coconut, chocolate chips, and almonds.
5. Scoop the dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 9–11 minutes until edges are golden.
7. Let cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
8. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Be sure to not overmix your dough—this keeps the cookies soft.
Toasting the almonds before adding them gives extra crunch and flavor.
Slightly underbake for gooier centers or bake longer for crispier edges.
