Time 25m

Yield 18

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.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips, 1/2 cup almond candy pieces, and flaked coconut until evenly distributed.
  • Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls and place 3 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the edges become golden brown, 9 to 11 minutes.
  • Immediately after removing from the oven, press a few of the remaining 1/4 cup almond candy pieces into each cookie decoratively.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the pecans with chopped walnuts. The cookies still turned out great.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out like the picture. They were flat and didn't have any chewiness.

I was so excited to try these cookies, but I was disappointed. They were dry and crumbly.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them.

Not bad, but I think they could be better with a little more chocolate.
