Make chewy cookies that taste exactly like the classic candy bar, featuring chocolate, coconut, and almonds. This simple recipe is perfect for holiday baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup chopped almonds, lightly toasted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and toasted almonds.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden. The centers should still look slightly soft for a chewy texture.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • To toast the almonds, spread them on a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often until fragrant.
  • For an extra candy bar flavor, you can fold in 1/2 cup of chopped Almond Joy candy bars along with the other mix-ins.
  • If you prefer a richer chocolate flavor, substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate chunks.
