Ingredients
Traditional Chocolate Chip Cookies
Instructions
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper—one will be for toasting the coconut, and the other for baking the cookies. Spread the coconut flakes out on one of the sheets and pop it in the oven for about 6 minutes, or until they turn a nice light brown. Keep the oven on for baking the cookies right after.
Step 2
While the coconut is toasting, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. In a larger bowl, beat the brown sugar, butter, white sugar, and almond extract until creamy. Then add in the egg yolk and milk, mixing well. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until just combined.
Step 3
Once your coconut is toasted and cooled a bit, fold it into the dough along with the white chocolate chips and chopped almonds. Scoop out little balls of dough—about 1 1/2 inches wide—and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
Step 4
Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers still feel soft. Let them cool a bit on the tray before digging in!
