Dark Chocolate Coconut Cookies

Yesterday was National Chocolate Chip Cookie day, so I just HAD to bake.  We also currently have remodeling going on, and Hubby reminded me that I had yet to bake for those working on my house, so baking commenced.  I raided my cupboard and decided that dark chocolate, coconut and almond sounded like a pretty good mix for a cookie and I was right, if I do say so myself.  Here they are.



1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, well beaten
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup coconut powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup flaked coconut
2 tsp almond extract
14 ounces chocolate chips

Heat oven to 375 degrees.  Cream together butter and sugars.


Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add flour, coconut powder, salt, soda, and vanilla - mix until just blended.  Stir in coconut and chocolate chips.

Scoop onto cookie sheets lined with a silicone mat or non stick foil, about 1 inch apart.


Bake for about 11 minutes until your desired doneness.
