Ingredients:

• 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon coconut extract
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 1/4 cups old-fashioned oats
• 1 1/2 cups packaged shredded sweetened coconut
• 12 oz dark chocolate chunks (about 2 cups)
• 3/4 cup almonds with skins (4 oz), toasted, cooled, and chopped **

Directions:

** To toast the almond, spread on a baking sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven for 5 to 7 minutes, until you can smell them. Remove from the baking sheet, allow them to cool slightly, and then chop.

Beat together the butter and both sugars. Once fluffy, add the eggs and the extracts and beat well. Add the flour mixture and mix until just blended. Stir in oats, coconut, dark chocolate, and almonds.

Drop heaping tablespoonful (or a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop) onto a baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake them at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges just turn brown. Cool on the baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring to a cooling rack.

Makes 4 1/2 dozen cookies.
