Coconut Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies almost taste like an Almond Joy candy bar, and what's not to like there. Chocolate, coconut and almonds are so good together. I think your family with enjoy these too. These cookies go together really quickly.  They freeze beautifully also.

Not anything unusual in these cookies.

First thing is to measure out 3/4 cup chopped almonds and

3/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut

Spread out on a parchment lined baking sheet and toast lightly in the oven.  I set the oven to 350 and put inside for about 5-7 minutes.  I kept an eye on it and stirred the pan during the toasting.

Start with 3/4 cup softened butter

Add 3/4 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup sugar to the butter.  Mix well.

Add 2 eggs and mix well.

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla.  Mix all that well in the batter.

Add 3 cups all purpose flour.  Don't all at one time or you will have a mess to clean up. Also add 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips.

The almonds and coconut are all toasted.  Now to let it cool before adding to the batter.

I mixed it together and put it on a second cookie sheet to cool.  It isn't going to cool when left on the cookie sheet that went in the oven.

Now scoop and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.  If you are going to mix and bake at the same time you will need to chill the dough for about an hour.  When baking place in a preheated 350 oven and bake for 14-16 minutes.

And enjoy.
