Drop it like it‘s hot! It is Cookie Friday and today I got some delicious drop cookies for you! Maui Chocolate Cookies with loads of chocolate, almonds and coconut flakes! A super nice flavor combination you should definitely try someday! Maybe today? I mean you got all the ingredients, you just have to make them now ;P

I really like drop cookies ;) Super simple and super easy to make. These ones here are loaded with chocolate, sliced almonds, and coconut flakes. All you got to do is mix everything together, grab a cookie scoop and let the dough drop onto the baking sheet ;) Since I am baking cookies more often, I use different sized cookie scoops to get my dough onto the baking sheets. Those little gadgets are probably my most used kitchen gadgets besides regular bowls or my mixer ;) With the different sizes you always get the right amount of dough for a cookie, the shape of the dough portions is uniform which means the cookies look nice and all the same at the end. Perfect! If you are planning on baking cookies more often, you should definitely think about getting one of these little helpers ;)

INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN

These Maui cookies turned out really delicious and very chocolaty – if you are a chocolate fan, these might be perfect for you. Why they are called Maui Cookies? Well… I actually don’t know ;) Probably because the combination of chocolate, almonds, and coconut could remind someone of something coming from Hawaii? Dunno. Found some cookies called Maui cookies in a U.S. supermarket the last time I was there – they actually looked like chocolate chip cookies and were made with chopped almonds and coconut. This inspired me to create my own Maui Cookies with one of my basic cookie recipes because the flavor combination sounded promising. Just with more chocolate… cause more chocolate is always better ;P

Instructions

1. Melt the butter and let cool down again to room temperature. Add together with the two sugars go a large bowl and mix until light and fluffy. Add one egg after another to the bowl and mix well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix in. Mix the flour with cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt and add together with the milk to the mixing bowl – mix until just combined. Add the coconut flakes, sliced almonds, and chopped chocolate and fold in. Place in the fridge for about 30 minutes.

 

2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Use a cookie scoop or spoons and place dough portions on the baking sheet with some space in between. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set but the center is still a bit soft. Take out of the oven and let cool down on the baking sheet for some time, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool down completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.
