Soft and chewy cookies packed with sweet coconut, melty chocolate, and crunchy almonds, inspired by the classic candy bar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup whole almonds, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Beat in egg and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl, then add to the wet mixture on low speed just until combined.
  5. Fold in coconut, chocolate chips, and chopped almonds until evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop dough into 1 1/2 tablespoon portions onto the sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until edges are golden and centers look just set.
  8. Cool on the sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Toast almonds lightly for deeper flavor before chopping.
  • Chill dough 30 minutes for thicker cookies that spread less.
  • Press a few extra chips or almond pieces on top of dough balls for a bakery look.
  • Store with a slice of bread in the container to keep cookies soft.
