Coconut, Chocolate Chip and Almond Cookies

The coconut, chocolate chip and almond combination were
fantastic together - they reminded me of an Almond Joy candy bar. These
cookies were gooey, soft, sweet, salty as well as crunchy. Don't forget to dip them in ice cold milk but I must warn you - they
are addictive!

1/2 cup softened butter
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups of milk chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups of flaked coconut
1 cup almond slivers

Preheat
the oven to 375F degrees. Spray cookie sheets with cooking spray. Mix
the butter, white sugar, brown sugar and vanilla until creamy and
smooth. Slowly beat in the eggs. In another bowl, mix the flour, baking
soda and salt together thoroughly. Slowly add the flour mixture to the
egg mixture until well blended. Add the chocolate chips, coconut and
almonds and mix. Drop by rounded spoonfuls on cookie sheets. Bake for
8-10 minuets or until golden brown. Allow to cool before moving them to
a wire wrack. Enjoy.
