Coconut Crunch Cookies image

This is one of the best cookies I have had in my life! Seriously, it's in my top 3! (The other 2 I already posted.) I got it from my good friend, Kelly. When I asked her for it, thinking it was some "granny's family secret" recipe, she whipped out her TOH cookbook, flipped it open, pointed and laughed. Really?? A cookbook...

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 c butter, softened
3/4 c white sugar
3/4 c brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp almond extract
2 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
2 c flaked coconut
1 pkg milk chocolate chips
1 1/2 c finely chopped almonds

Steps:

  • 1. Note: She never puts the almond extract or the almonds in hers, so I've only had them that way, and I can say that they are amazing without! Make them whichever way suits your tastes best. :)
  • 2. Cream butter and sugars together, then beat in the eggs and extract(s). Mix dry ingredients together in a seperate bowl and add gradually to creamed mixture. Stir in chocolate chips, coconut, and almonds (if desired). Drop by rounded teaspoons, 2 inches apart, onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 9-11 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool before removing from baking sheet to racks.
