1 &1/2 cups chocolate chips, divided
1/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted

  1. Brown the butter a bit!  Melt butter over medium heat on the stove.  Stir constantly until the butter is a golden brown (not dark brown) color (about 5 minutes or so).  Cool for 20 minutes.  
  2. Preheat oven to 375° F.  
  3. Pour the melted butter into a mixing bowl.  Add white and brown sugar, egg, and almond extract .  Stir until smooth. 
  4. Slowly add in flour and salt.  Then fold in 1 cup of the coconut and 3/4 cup of chocolate chips.  Reserve rest of coconut and chips for later.
  5. Lightly toast almonds on a cookie sheet in the oven - it only takes 2 or 3 minutes at the most.  Remove and set aside.
  6. Using a spatula or spoon, transfer and lightly press the mixture evenly into a 15x10x1-inch baking dish or cookie sheet.  Bake at 375° F for about 25 minutes or until golden.
  7. When done, immediately sprinkle the top with the rest of the chocolate chips.  With a spatula, spread them over the top of the cookie to melt.  Then sprinkle on a layer of  coconut and top with the toasted almonds.  Press LIGHTLY with your spatula.   Cool to room temperature, then chill in refrigerator for about 20 minutes.  Break into pieces when set.
