Description
A recipe for chewy cookies featuring the flavors of coconut, chocolate, and almonds, similar to the candy bar. Includes a quick four-ingredient variation.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped almonds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the coconut flakes, chocolate chips, and chopped almonds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For the 4-Ingredient Quick Version: Combine 1 cup of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of powdered sugar, 1 cup of sweetened flaked coconut, and 1 cup of chocolate chips. Mix well, drop by spoonfuls onto a lined sheet, and bake at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes.
- For a fudgier texture, use milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
