Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon amaretto optional
  • 2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup flaked coconut
  • ¾ cup slivered almonds

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a mixer, mix the butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well combined and creamy.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time and mix. Add the amaretto and almond extract and beat well, stopping to scrape down the sides with a spatula.
  • In a medium sized bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add the sifting dry ingredients, a little at a time when mixing on low speed until blended.
  • Using a wooden spoon, stir in chocolate chips, coconut and almonds and mix until incorporated.
  • Using a large cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop the dough by heaping tablespoons onto an un-greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
  • Let cool for a minute or two and then place on a wire rack to cool.

Notes

*Cookies will keep for up to a week in an air tight storage container.
If you don't have amaretto or don't wish to use alcohol, omit the amaretto and increase almond extract to 3 teaspoons.
