Almond Joy Cookies
Description
Almond Joy Cookies mix coconut, almonds, sweetened condensed milk, and chocolate chips to create a sticky dough that holds shape well. The cookies are formed into small mounds, hand-shaped and slightly flattened before baking, which allows them to maintain a soft yet slightly crisp structure around the edges. Baking at a moderate temperature of 325°F ensures even cooking without burning the sugar-rich ingredients.
The combination of coconut and chopped almonds replaces traditional flour-based cookie dough, resulting in a chewy, moist texture with bursts of chocolate flavor throughout. These cookies offer a straightforward and unique alternative to typical chocolate chip cookies, focusing on the texture and richness of the coconut and nuts.
This recipe is suitable as a snack or dessert option that doesn’t require leavening agents or extra binding ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 ounce flaked coconut sweetened, bag
- 1 ounce sweetened condensed milk can
- 2/3 cup almond lightly chopped, salted, roasted
- 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325F. Prepare cookie sheets by lining with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut, sweetened condensed milk, chopped almonds, and chocolate chips.
- Scoop the cookie dough into small mounds on the prepare cookie sheets. Wet your hands with water and then shape the mounds into round cookies and slightly flatten the tops of each cookie.
- Bake at 325F for 12-14 minutes until golden brown around the edges. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet before serving.
