Almond Joy Cookies
If you love coconut and almond, you are going to love my recipe for Almond Joy Cookies! They're sweet, soft, and full of chocolate chips so they taste just like the classic candy bar.
Servings: 24 cookies
Calories: 187kcal
Ingredients
- 5 cups sweetened shredded coconut about 1 bag
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- ½ cup chopped almonds
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Set the tray aside for now.
- In a large bowl, mix the shredded coconut, chocolate chips, chopped almonds, and salt together.
- Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla.
- Scoop the dough into 2 tablespoon-sized balls and place on a cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Wet your finger tips with water and gently press down on each cookie (the water will prevent the cookies from sticking to your fingers). You want the cookies to be about ½ inch thick and flat, not domed.
- Bake the cookies for 12 minutes. The edges will be just turning golden brown but the center will still be soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the tray for about 5 minutes then enjoy!
Notes
- Use a cookie scoop to easily scoop out balls of dough to form the cookies. Make sure to gently press down on the cookies before baking; you want them to be thick and flat, not domed.
- Store almond joy cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Serve straight from the fridge or at room temperature.
- You could serve cookies alongside scoops of vanilla ice cream for a really decadent treat. Or simply place them on a plate, pour a cup of coffee or tea, and enjoy!
