Ingredients

¼ cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup brown sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon almond extract
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons milk
½ cup white chocolate chips, or to taste
¼ cup toasted chopped almonds, or to taste

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Place coconut flakes on 1 baking sheet; leave the second baking sheet for the cookies.
Bake coconut in the preheated oven until slightly brown, about 6 minutes. Leave the oven on.
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Cream brown sugar, butter, white sugar, and almond extract together in a separate bowl. Add egg yolk and milk and mix. Pour in flour mixture and combine until almost fully incorporated. Add chocolate, almonds, and toasted coconut; mix well.
Drop 1 1/2-inch balls of dough on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden on the edges and soft in the centers, 8 to 10 minutes.
