Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 (14-ounce) bag of shredded coconut – Adds that sweet, tropical flavor and chewy texture.
- 1 bag of chocolate chips – Because who doesn’t love bites of melty chocolate?
- 1 can of condensed milk – This sweetens and binds everything together beautifully.
- 2/3 cup of chopped almonds – For that perfect crunch and a hint of nuttiness.
How to Make Almond Joy Cookies
- Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 325°F (165°C) to get it nice and toasty.
- Mix It All Together: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, chocolate chips, condensed milk, and chopped almonds. Make sure everything is well mixed so each cookie has a bit of all those delicious ingredients.
- Scoop and Shape: Grab a cookie scoop and pack the mixture tightly into the scoop. This helps the cookies hold their shape as they bake. Drop the scoops onto a lined baking sheet – you’ll want to give them a little room as they bake.
- Bake to Perfection: Pop them in the oven and bake for 12 to 14 minutes. Keep an eye out – they’re ready when the edges turn a lovely golden brown.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set up just right.
