Ingredients

Scale

1 ⅙ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
⅓ cup granulated sugar
⅓ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg (room temperature)
1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
¾ cup sliced almonds

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, cream butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add vanilla extract and egg, mixing until fully combined.
Gradually add dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and sliced almonds.
Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing evenly apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Chill dough for 30 minutes for thicker, chewier cookies.
Do not overbake—cookies should look slightly soft in the center when removed.
Toasting the coconut enhances the nutty flavor.
You can substitute dark chocolate chips for a richer taste.
