Delicious Almond Joy Cookies Recipe – Perfect Treats

Ingredients

Servings:
90
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup butter (softened)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet)
  • 1 cup whole almonds
  • 1 cup cocoa powder

Instructions

10 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine almond flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.

    Sift the dry ingredients to avoid clumps.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars

    In another bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

    Use room temperature butter for best results.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla

    Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.

    Mix until the egg is fully incorporated.
  5. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

    Do not overmix to keep the cookies tender.
  6. Fold in Coconut and Chocolate

    Fold in the shredded coconut and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

    You can also add extra coconut on top of each cookie.
  7. Scoop and Place on Baking Sheet

    Using a cookie scoop, drop dough onto a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Leave space between cookies as they will spread.
  8. Add Almonds

    Press whole almonds into the top of each cookie dough ball.

    This adds a great visual and crunch.
  9. Bake

    Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are set and tops are slightly golden.

    Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring.
  10. Cool and Serve

    Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

    These cookies can be stored in an airtight container.
