Ingredients
  

  • 6 tablespoons Unsalted Butter At room temperature
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon Coconut Extract
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour Plus 3 tablespoons
  • 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Instant Espresso Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips
  • 2/3 cup Shredded Coconut Divided
  • 1/4 cup Sliced Almonds

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
  • Add the egg, vanilla extract, and coconut extract. Mix until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula and give the mixture one more quick mix.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, espresso powder, and salt.
  • With the mixer on low, slowly add the dry ingredients. Continue to mix until thoroughly combined.Fold in the chocolate chips and 1/3 cup of the shredded coconut.
  • Measure out 2-tablespoons of dough at a time and roll into balls (the dough will be a little sticky). Place the dough balls on the cookie sheet, spacing them 3 inches apart.
  • Gently press down each dough ball slightly. Top with a teaspoon each of the remaining shredded coconut and sliced almonds and press down gently so the ingredients stick to the dough.
  • Bake for 15 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool onthe baking sheet completely. Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • If you decide to make smaller cookies, the recipe will yield 12-14 cookies. Measure out 1 tablespoon of dough and bake for 7-8 minutes.
