The place that I work has a cookie that is very similar with coconut, chocolate, and nuts. I've been dying to find something like it to make at home! I modified the recipie slightly by adding 1 cup oatmeal and eliminating 1 cup of flour. Turned out great...this one's a keeper!

These were excellent! The only change I made was to use 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup dark chocolate chips, half almonds and half pecans, and rapadura sugar in place of the brown sugar. Oh and I also added about a teaspoon of almond extract. This is a must try recipe! Delicious!

-Baked at 350 degrees for 8-9 minutes. -Substituted 1/2 c. of cinnamon applesauce for 1/2 c. of butter...I couldn't tell! -As recommended, cut choc chips down to 2 c. and they were chocolatey enough (and I love chocolate). -Used 1 c. coconut and subbed 1 c. oats and added a drop of coconut extract. -Subbed some wheat flour for the all-purpose. -I think my substitutions made the cookies a little healthier while still maintaining a great, tropical tasting cookie.

Will definitely not use so much vanilla extract next time. 2 teaspoons should be enough. I would also add more coconut and only use 3 cups of chocolate chips. I used milk chocolate and white chocolate chips instead and they were perfect.

These are really delicious! I'm usually not that much a fan of CC cookies but I decided to make my father cookies for fathers' day and decided to try these for a compromise. And they are very good. They come out very upright and soft for reference. I substituted hald my flour with wholewheat. I also added some almond extract for personal preference and I'm glad I did as I think the almonds would only add texture otherwise. Also the amount of chocolate in the recipe seemed pretty much overkill so I cut it a lot, just adding until it looked right in my bowl.

Easy to make and delicious. I only made half the recipe, which was plenty. Other modifications: I didn't have any baking soda, so I used baking powder (1 tsp soda = 2 tsp powder), and omitted the salt. I substituted half the vanilla with almond extract, added 1/4 cup extra coconut (because I wanted to finish my jar of it), and added about 1/2 cup less of chocolate chips than called for. These really do taste like almond joy (at least with the almond extract and extra coconut in there), and are a really nice texture. Will definitely make this one again!
