  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, egg, and vegetable oil. Use a hand mixer until the mixture is creamy and well-combined.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined.
  4. Fold in the coconut flakes, chocolate chips, and almond slices gently until evenly distributed.
  5. Roll the dough into ping pong-sized balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced apart.
Baking
  1. Bake for 12-13 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown.
  2. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
