Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or use a silpat mat.



Beat the sugars and the butter together around 3 minutes till light. Then add the egg, extracts. Add the flour, baking soda and salt. Fold in the coconut and chocolate. Drop by tablespoonfuls and arrange the sliced almonds on the tops (I actually dunk the spoon into the almonds). Bake on lined cookie sheets until set around 15 to 18 minutes.
