Recipe
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line two cookie sheets with lengths
of parchment paper.
Sift together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, cream of tartar and
salt.
Cream the butter and shortening in the large bowl of an electric
mixer on low speed for 5 minutes. Add the granulated sugar, light
and dark brown sugars; beat for 3 minutes on moderate speed. Beat in
the egg and egg yolk. Blend in the vanilla extract and almond
extract. On low speed, add the sifted mixture and mix until the
particles of flour are absorbed. Stir in the milk chocolate, coconut
and walnuts.
For each batch, drop 2 tablespoon-size mounds of the dough onto a
lined cookie sheet, spacing the mounds about 2 to 2 1/2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies for 15 minutes, or until a light golden color.
After 1 minute, transfer the cookies to cooling racks using a wide
metal spatula. Cool completely.
Store in an airtight container.
