Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup softened butter
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp almond extract (If you love the almond flavor, add 1 or 2 more tsp. Or throw in some coconut extract for funsies.)
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (I like milk chocolate, but pick your poison:)
  • 2 cups shredded coconut
  • 2 cups sliced almonds (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix your softened butter with sugar and brown sugar. Add in eggs. Next add in your extract. Mix until creamy.
  • Next add all of your dry ingredients one by one...mixing in between each ingredient. (Flour, soda, cornstarch, and salt)
  • Finally, add in your chocolate, coconut, and almonds. Mix well.
  • Eat as much dough as you can until you ALMOST want to throw up. Or skip this step:)
  • Scoop onto ungreased cookie sheet. These are best if you make them big. Aim for about 1/4 cup dough in each cookie.
  • Chill dough. You can chill in the fridge for a few hours (if you are awesome and patient and do not have to have your cookies ASAP). Or I usually put the tray of dough balls in the freezer for 10 minutes. Then as the next batch is baking, I add the second sheet to the freezer.
  • Bake 10-12 minutes. DO NOT BAKE TOO LONG. These are best if they are cooked around the edges, but soft in the center. Remove from the oven and leave them on the pan for a couple minutes to firm up. (Makes about 2 dozen cookies).
  • Enjoy these when they are warm...trust me!!
