Irresistible Almond Coconut Cookies: A Simple and Delicious Recipe for Sweet Summer Bliss

Sweet almond and coconut cookie with coconut flakes and almond slices.

Equipment

• Baking Sheet

• Ice Cream Scoop

• Parchment Paper

• Mixer

Tips or Tricks

• Creaming the butter and sugar creates tiny air bubbles, that lead to lighter and fluffier cookies.

Length of Time

• Prep Time - 10 minutes

• Cook time - 16 minutes

Servings

• Serving Size: 24

• Servings: 1 cookie

Ingredients

• 1 cup salted butter – softened

• 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar

• 1 tablespoon brown sugar

• 1 teaspoon almond extract

• 2 eggs

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• ½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. In a mixing bowl with paddle attachment, cream butter, and sugar. 

4. Add almond extract and eggs.  Mix well. 

5. In a separate bowl, combine flour and baking soda.  Mix with whisk (I do this instead of sifting it to fully combine and remove clumps.) Pour in mixer bowl, combine fully. 

6. Add coconut flakes, combine.

7. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop cookies, spacing evenly on pan.  The quantity of cookies will vary on the size of ice cream scoop used. 

8. Bake at 350 degrees for 16 minutes (smaller cookies will take less time.) I like to bake 12 minutes on the bottom rack and then move to the top rack to finish baking.

Notes

• Storing the cookies: - I enjoy storing my cookies in an airtight container, with plastic saran wrap under the lid for an extra sealed container.
