COCONUT CRUNCH COOKIES

This is one of the best cookies I have had in my life! Seriously, it's in my top 3! (The other 2 I already posted.) I got it from my good friend, Kelly. When I asked her for it, thinking it was some "granny's family secret" recipe, she whipped out her TOH cookbook, flipped it open, pointed and laughed. Really?? A cookbook...

Categories     Chocolate

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 c butter, softened
3/4 c white sugar
3/4 c brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp almond extract
2 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
2 c flaked coconut
1 pkg milk chocolate chips
1 1/2 c finely chopped almonds

Steps:

  • 1. Note: She never puts the almond extract or the almonds in hers, so I've only had them that way, and I can say that they are amazing without! Make them whichever way suits your tastes best. :)
  • 2. Cream butter and sugars together, then beat in the eggs and extract(s). Mix dry ingredients together in a seperate bowl and add gradually to creamed mixture. Stir in chocolate chips, coconut, and almonds (if desired). Drop by rounded teaspoons, 2 inches apart, onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 9-11 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool before removing from baking sheet to racks.
  • 3. 1 cookie = 138 calories, 8g fat (4g sat fat), 17mg cholesterol, 94mg sodium, 15g carbs, 1g fiber, 2g protein.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shredded coconut. Fresh coconut has a more intense flavor and a chewier texture than dried coconut.
  • Toast the coconut before using. Toasting the coconut brings out its natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown. Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

These coconut crunch cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from casual gatherings to holiday parties. With their chewy texture, sweet coconut flavor, and crunchy topping, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a delicious and festive cookie recipe, give these coconut crunch cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
