Coconut Almond Cookie Bark Recipes

Steps:

• Melt chocolate as directed on package. Reserve 1/4 cup chocolate for later use.
• Spread remaining chocolate onto parchment-covered baking sheet. Sprinkle with coconut and nuts; press gently into chocolate with back of spoon. Drizzle with reserved chocolate.
• Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. Break into small pieces.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Beat butter, shortening, and sugar in a bowl until creamy. Mix almond and vanilla extracts and salt into creamed mixture. Gradually beat in flour until smooth. Stir coconut into dough.
• Scoop up dough by heaping tablespoonfuls, roll into balls, and arrange about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Dip the bottom of a glass in flour and press cookies 1/4 inch thick.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets for 2 or 3 minutes before removing cookies.
• While cookies are baking, heat half the chocolate chips in a small bowl in a microwave oven for 30 seconds; stir. Repeat steps, heating and stirring until chocolate chips are melted, smooth, and warm. Place remaining chocolate chips into melted chocolate and continue heating and stirring until all chips are melted and just warm. Transfer melted chocolate to a resealable plastic sandwich bag. Snip a small corner off the bag with a scissors.
• Hold the bag like a pastry bag and squeeze a thin line of melted chocolate onto warm cookies in a zigzag pattern. Transfer cookies to cooling racks to let the chocolate harden, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Mix flour, coconut and baking soda; set aside. Beat butter and shortening in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well mixed. Add sugar; beat until light and fluffy. Add egg, honey and almond extract; beat until well blended. Gradually add flour mixture, beating on low speed after each addition until well blended.
• Shape level tablespoonfuls of dough into balls. Place, 2 inches apart, on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten each ball with bottom of drinking glass; press almond slice into center of each cookie.
• Bake 9 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes; remove from baking sheets. Cool completely on wire racks. Store in tightly covered container at room temperature.
