Ingredients
- 14 oz sweetened coconut flakes
- 1 cant cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large egg whites room temperature
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 30 salted almonds
- 4 ounce dark chocolate bar optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325F (165C) and line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, stir together coconut flakes, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until well-combined.
- In a separate bowl (make sure that it is completely clean and dry) combine the egg whites and salt (make sure no yolk gets in with the whites!).
- Using an electric mixer with whisk attachment, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the coconut mixture until ingredients are completely combined.
- Using a 1 1/2 Tablespoon-sized cookie scoop, scoop macaroon mixture into balls and drop onto prepared cookie sheet, placing at least 1" apart.
- Gently nestle a single almond snugly into the top of each coconut mound.
- Transfer to oven and bake on 325F for 20-23 minutes or until tops are just beginning to turn golden brown.
- Allow cookies to cool completely before drizzling with chocolate.
- To prepare chocolate -- chop chocolate bar into small even-sized pieces and place in a small microwave-safe bowl.
- Heat in 20-second increments, (stirring in between) until chocolate is smooth and completely melted.
- Drizzle chocolate over each cooled Almond Joy cookie, then allow chocolate to harden before serving.
Notes
- *this means filling the measuring cup just shy of the 1 cup line
