You can make these soft, chewy Almond Joy Cookies that capture the classic candy bar taste using simple ingredients. These cookies combine sweet coconut, rich chocolate, and crunchy almonds for a satisfying treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped almonds, plus extra for topping
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until just combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the flaked coconut, chocolate chips, and chopped almonds.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still look soft.
  8. While the cookies are cooling slightly on the baking sheet, prepare the topping. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the sweetened condensed milk until it is pourable.
  9. Drizzle the warm condensed milk over the warm cookies. Immediately press a few extra chopped almonds onto the top of each cookie.
  10. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a richer chocolate flavor, you can use milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
  • If you want a softer cookie, slightly underbake them by about one minute.
  • You can substitute whole almonds for slivered almonds if you prefer a larger nut piece.
