Amaretto Chocolate Chip Cookies

Amaretto Chocolate Chip Cookies are filled with the tastes of chocolate chips, coconut, and almonds. This amaretto cookies recipe is a new favorite here!

These amaretto cookies aren't any harder to make than regular chocolate chip cookies. And the flavors are out of this world.

Biting into these cookies exceed every expectation. They look like regular cookies but then the taste of almond, coconut and chocolate give your taste buds a treat!

For a fun, different twist on these cookies try making cream cheese chocolate chip cookies or chocolate chip walnut cookie recipe.

How to Make Amaretto Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat your oven before you get started so it's ready and waiting for you.

First, you'll cream the butter and sugars, just like most cookie recipes.

Okay, wait - let me back up for a second. Before you preheat the oven, make sure there are no pans hanging out in your oven for extra storage.

I say this as a woman who recently melted the top of the brownie container that was stashed for safekeeping in my oven.

Okay, back at it....

Add the eggs, amaretto and almond extract mix well.

Then, sift the dry ingredients together. Add to the mixer on low speed - you know, so you don't send flour all over the kitchen.

Finally, you'll add the chocolate chips, shredded coconut and slivered almonds. I like to use a sturdy wooden spoon to mix these in.

Use a cookie scoop to drop the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake the cookies until the edges just start to turn golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack.

Then, be sure to taste test while the chocolate is still ooey gooey and the coconut flakes melt in your mouth.

I did!!!!

Does amaretto have alcohol?

Yes, amaretto is a sweet Italian liqueur that contains alcohol. If that's not your thing, you can make these amaretto chocolate cookies without liqueur.

In fact, the batch I made to photograph for this post has no amaretto in it. If that's your thing just omit the amaretto and add an additional teaspoon of almond extract!
