Ingredients
  

  • 1.125 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 tsp baking soda
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 0.5 cup butter softened (1 stick)
  • 0.33 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.33 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes shredded coconut
  • 0.75 cup sliced almonds

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Beat until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
  • Add vanilla extract and egg to the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Mix until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing. Gently fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened coconut flakes, and sliced almonds with a spatula.
  • Scoop 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies 2 inches apart. Bake for 9–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The centers should look slightly underdone.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Serve with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Notes

For a toasted flavor, lightly toast the coconut flakes and almonds before adding to the dough. These cookies freeze well; store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
