Oatmeal Cookies Toasted Coconut Chocolate (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Cookie Dough

01 - 60 g unsalted butter, softened
02 - 40 g brown sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
04 - 1/8 teaspoon almond extract
05 - 16 g all-purpose flour
06 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
07 - 53 g rolled oats
08 - 30 g flaked unsweetened coconut, lightly toasted

→ Decoration

09 - 35 g dark chocolate, melted, for drizzling

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 175°C and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
02 - In a wide pan over medium heat, toast coconut flakes while stirring until lightly golden and fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat to cool.
03 - In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract, flour, and salt. Mix until smooth. Fold in rolled oats and cooled toasted coconut until just combined.
04 - Drop spoonfuls of dough, using a teaspoon or tablespoon, onto the prepared sheet, spacing them 5 cm apart. Lightly flatten each portion with your fingers.
05 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are golden brown. For faster ovens, check at 7 minutes to prevent overbaking.
06 - Allow cookies to cool on the baking mat for several minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, drizzle with melted chocolate and let set.

# Notes:

01 - Allowing the cookies to cool fully before drizzling with chocolate ensures a neat finish.
02 - Light toasting of coconut intensifies its aroma and flavor.
