COCONUT CRUNCH COOKIES

Coconut Crunch Cookies image

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...

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

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.

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:
