Yield: 50 cookies

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups all-purpose flour
  2. 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  3. 1 teaspoon baking soda
  4. 1 teaspoon salt
  5. 1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
  6. 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  7. 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  8. 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  9. 1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract
  10. 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
  11. 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  12. 2 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  13. 2 teaspoons vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  2. Beat the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and vanilla and almond extracts in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until thick and creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg and egg yolk. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture until just combined. Stir in 1 cup each chocolate chips and shredded coconut. Refrigerate the dough until firm enough to scoop, about 1 hour.
  3. Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Arrange tablespoon-size scoops of dough about 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until lightly golden, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheets.
  4. Put the remaining 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut in a medium bowl. Melt the remaining 2 cups chocolate chips with the vegetable oil in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring, until smooth. Dip each cookie partway in the melted chocolate, then immediately dip in the coconut. Return to the parchment-lined baking sheets and refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.
