How to make the most chewy, chocolate-y and delicious coconut loaded Almond Joy cookies ever!
Share:
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- one milliliter can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring
- 1 cup slivered almonds
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1-2 cups chocolate chips for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 °F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the coconut, flour and salt.
- Open up the tin of condensed milk, pour over the mixture. Then mix in the vanilla and almond flavoring.
- Mix very thoroughly, making sure the coconut is completely coated.
- Add in the almonds and the 1 cup of chocolate chips, mixing until they are spread out evenly throughout the batter.
- Form them into the size of smaller golf balls so that the inside doesn't dry out and remains chewy. Place them onto a baking sheet covered in parchment paper.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes until the outside is toasted and browned.
- Let them cool completely then melt your remaining chocolate chips in a medium sized bowl. (I do this in the microwave in 20 second increments).
- Dip the coconut balls into the chocolate and cover completely.
- Return them to the parchment paper. Let the chocolate harden then store inside containers.They only get chewier and better over the next couple days, if they last that long!
Notes
- If the batter is really sticky, use another 1/2 cup of shredded coconut.
- These only need to be baked until they are browned and crunchy on the outside, as you want the inside to be nice and chewy!
- The nutritional numbers do NOT include the chocolate on top, as the amount you use will vary! This is just for the macaroon.
- Yield will depend on the size you make them
