Joyfully Almond Chippers

Joyfully Almond Chippers

1 cup butter

2/3 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 egg, lightly beaten

1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk *

1 tsp almond extract

1 tsp vanilla

2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

2 cups flaked coconut

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup sliced almonds

Heat oven to 375 F. Combine butter and sugars in large bowl. Beat at medium speed until well blended. Combine egg, milk, extracts and mix into creamed mixture at low speed until blended. Combine dry ingredients and mix into creamed mixture at low speed until just blended. Stir in, one at a time, coconut, chocolate chips and almonds.

Drop by rounded spoonfuls 2 inches apart onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake at 375 for 10 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Do not overbake. Makes 3 dozen cookies.

* Note: since this requires so little of a can of sweetened condensed milk, instead of wasting the remainder one good recipe to use it on is Soft and Chewy Caramels.
