In my previous post, I mentioned that I made toasted coconut
for the first time. I then wondered what
toasted coconut flakes would be like in cookies. I decided to bake two thoughts into one
cookie when I made almond butter chocolate chip with toasted coconut flakes
tonight.
Recipe (makes approx 3.5 dozen)
- 2 cups of all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of butter (1 stick)
- 3/4 cup of dry roasted almond butter [unsalted]
- 3/4 cup of white sugar
- 3/4 cup of packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup of dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup of toasted coconut flakes
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
- Cream butter and almond butter in a separate bowl.
- Mix both sugars and extracts into the butter mixture.
- Beat one egg into the mixture at a time. Eggs should be room temperature.
- Blend the flour mixture into the bowl, about 1/2 a cup at a time.
- Fold the chocolate chips and coconut flakes into the cookie dough.
- Drop onto a cookie sheet, one tablespoon at a time
- Bake 8-10 minutes and enjoy.
