Chocolate, coconut and almond is such a fabulous flavour combination and it goes so well in cookies! These cookies are basically just a chocolate chip cookie recipe where equal parts chocolate chips, shredded coconut and almond slices are added to the cookie dough! It couldn’t be easier to make these cookies! You simply mix the wet ingredients, mix the dry ingredients and mix the wet and dry together before adding the chocolate chips, shredded coconut and almond slices. Once the dough is ready you scoop it up, roll it into balls, place on a baking sheet and bake for a few minutes. These cookies are great any time and they make a particularly nice addition to a holiday cookie platter!

Kevin are these freezer safe?
These freeze well! I have a batch full of them in my freezer right now! 🙂
Hi! Would I need to adjust anything if I were to leave the nuts out of the recipe? Or is that not an issue?
You can simply omit them or you can replace them with more coconut and/or chocolate chips.
Just made a batch of these cookies and they are absolutely delicious! My husband bit into one and said WOW! I will definitely add these to the list of cookies to be made quite often.
what a great idea for a cookie, so much fun, very creative, thank you!
I used your recipe as a base but made a few changes. I subbed out half the butter for mashed up ripe bananas to cut down on calories, used Stevia crystal for half the sugar, and I didn’t have chocolate chips on hand so I used raisins instead and they still tasted amazing. I also used a variety of different chopped up nuts as I didn’t have enough almonds and it was so yummy! I might try it with dark chocolate chips next time, I loved the coconut in these. Thanks!
I JUST HAD ANOTHER THOUGHT…..WHAT ABOUT ADDING A SMALL PIECE OF AN MOUNDS CANDY BAR INSIDE EACH COOKIE?? I THINK I MIGHT TRY THAT 🙂
ANY PROBLEM WITH USING’ SALTED’ BUTTER??
