Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

- Stir in shredded coconut, chocolate chips, and chopped almonds until evenly distributed.

- Don’t overmix the dough.
- Toast the almonds for richer flavor.
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips.
