Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup Whole roasted almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy—about 2 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined—avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the shredded coconut, chocolate chips, and almonds with a spatula.
Form the dough into one giant cookie by shaping it into a 6- to 7-inch circle on the prepared baking sheet. The dough will spread, so leave enough space around it.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the edges are golden-brown and the center is set but still soft.
Allow the cookie to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice the Giant Almond Joy Cookie into wedges or serve whole as a shared treat. Enjoy!
