Dark Chocolate Chunk Cookies with Almonds and Coconut. It’s a throwback to the almond joy candy bar. It’s cocoa powdered chocolate chip cookie dough with chocolate chunks, salted whole almonds, and sweetened coconut flake add-ins.

Another month in the books. Even trapped inside for the most part, it was a good month. A chance to relax, reflect, learn some new stuff, and set some new goals. I continue to create in the kitchen daily, and I’m happy to share some new desserts in the coming weeks, especially some new spring and summer tarts.

Chocolate seems to be in everything, lately. That will change as we roll into summer. I’m excited to work with fruits and berries much more than I have in the past. And I have every ambition of procuring some really great products from my favorite vendors. I’ll definitely be showing local love more and more. Our neighborhood is hurting, so we’ll start there.

Ok, so on that chocolate theme, here we go… Today, were making a dark chocolate chunk, whole salted almond, sweetened coconut cookie. It’s easy to put together. Warm cookies out of the oven in less than half an hour. This is a cookie worthy of your holiday cookie box.

Dark Chocolate Almond Coconut Cookie Stacks

This is a buttery dark chocolate chunk cookie featuring brown sugar and vanilla with the addition of the salted whole almonds and sweetened coconut flakes.

All-purpose flour, baking soda, and fine sea salt are combined. The unsalted butter is creamed with the white and brown sugars. The egg and vanilla are added to the butter mixture. The flour mixture is slowly added to the mix, just until the cookie batter comes together. The dark chocolate chunks, salted whole almonds and sweetened coconut flakes are stirred in.

The cookie batter is scooped and dropped on parchment lined cookie sheets. At this point I like to slightly press down the cookie dough balls and drop a few extra pieces of each add in on the top of the cookie for visual appeal. The coconut won’t burn; it will turn a nice golden brown.

The cookies are baked until golden. These cookies are lovely slightly warm, or at room temperature.
