Number Of Ingredients 14

½ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup light brown sugar
1 egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon coconut extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
½ cup chocolate coated coconut and almond candy pieces (such as Hershey®'s Almond Joy® Pieces)
1 cup flaked coconut
¼ cup chocolate coated coconut and almond candy pieces (such as Hershey®'s Almond Joy® Pieces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.
  • Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and coconut extract.
  • Combine both amounts of flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl; mix into the butter mixture until just combined.

  • Immediately after removing from the oven, press a few of the remaining 1/4 cup almond candy pieces into each cookie decoratively.
