  • 170 grams all-purpose flour (1-1/4 cup)
  • 3 grams baking soda (1/2 teaspoon)
  • 2 grams fine sea salt (1/4 teaspoon)
  • 113 grams unsalted butter (1/2 cup OR 1 stick), softened
  • 50 grams granulated sugar (1/4 cup)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Add all-purpose flour, baking soda, and fine sea salt to small bowl. Set aside.
  • Add softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to stand mixer. Beat on low until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

  • Gradually add the flour mixture (about 1/2 cup at a time) to the sugar mixture. Beat on low just until it starts to come together. Do not over mix.
  • Fold in the chocolate chunks, sweetened coconut flakes, and salted whole almonds.
  • Using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop or a spoon, drop rounded scoops of cookie dough onto parchment lined cookie sheets.
  • Bake 10 to 11 minutes, or until cookies look set and are lightly golden on the edges.
  • Remove cookie sheets from oven and place on wire rack. Cool 10 minutes before removing cookies from cookie sheets.
  • Cookies will set up as they cool. Store in an airtight container.
