Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or silicone baking mats, and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk to combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Using a hand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla extract, coconut extract, and egg, and mix to combine.
- Add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture in two additions, beating until dough is well combined. Fold in the chocolate chips, coconut and almonds.
- Using a medium cookie scoop (2 tablespoons size), drop dough by rounded spoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets. Leaving a little room in between for spreading.
- Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, until edges are set and golden brown. Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes before moving to cooling racks to cool completely.

Notes
Storing: Cookies can be stored in an airtight container on the counter for up to a week. Store them with a slice of bread, replacing every couple of days as it becomes stale, to keep the cookies soft and chewy for longer.
Freeze Cookies: For extra protection, wrap each cookie in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, or at room temperature for 30 minutes.
