Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup shredded sweetened coconut
1/2 cup chopped almonds
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter with brown and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until smooth.
4. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
5. Fold in coconut, chopped almonds, and chocolate chips.
6. Cover and chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes.
7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
8. Scoop dough into balls and place on the sheet, spaced apart.
9. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are set but centers remain soft.
10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Softened butter gives the cookies a creamy, tender texture.
Chilling the dough enhances flavor and helps with texture.
Use sweetened coconut for the best moisture and chew.
