Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups shredded sweetened coconut
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
2. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually stir into the wet mixture.
4. Fold in the shredded coconut and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
5. Scoop dough into rounded tablespoons and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Press sliced almonds gently on top of each cookie dough ball.
7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden.
8. Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack.
Notes
Always use room-temperature butter for better creaming.
Don’t overbake—cookies continue baking on the sheet after removal.
Add extra almonds on top before baking for bakery-style looks.
