Cooking: almond joy cookies

A month ago we celebrated my husbands birthday and of course we had to have cake. So, we set out to make German Chocolate Cake. It was delicious! I ended up with a ton of coconut left over from the frosting recipe. I was considering making macaroons, but then I thought why not try something different. Thus, I did a little recipe hunting and modified the recipes I found; making my own recipe for Almond Joy Cookies.

Almond Joy Cookies

1 stick butter

1 egg 

1/2 cup sugar

1 tblsp heavy whipping cream (optional)

1 tsp almond extract

1 cup shredded coconut

1 1/2 all purpose flour

1/2 pack of chocolate chips

Beat together butter and sugar until really fluffy, add heavy whipping cream, add egg, add almond extract. Then alternate shredded coconut and flour until the mix becomes doughy. It should still look a little fluffy, add more flour if needed. Add chocolate chips. Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes. Enjoy!
