Ingredients
  • 1 cups 2 sticks unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, room temperature
  • 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cups packed light-brown sugar
  • 1 large eggs lightly beaten

  • 1 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Pinch of fine sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 2 cups coconut flakes
  • 2 cups sliced almond
Instructions
  1. Line baking sheets with nonstick silicone baking mats or parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and granulated sugar; add brown sugar and mix until well combined. Add egg and mix until fully incorporated. Add molasses.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, ground ginger and salt. Add half of the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix to combine. Add remaining flour mixture and mix to combine. Add half of the coconut flakes and almonds; mix to combine. Add remaining almonds and coconut chips then mix to combine.
  4. On a piece of parchment paper transfer the batter. On a sheet of parchment or wax paper, form dough into log shape. Transfer the log to refrigerator; chill for 30 minutes. Remove from the refrigerator and unwrap the cookie log. Cut cookies into 1 inch cookies. Using the flat bottom of a floured drinking glass, flatten dough slightly.
