Almond Joy Cookies

Almond Joy Cookies are a simple, sweet treat inspired by the classic candy bar. Loaded with coconut, chocolate chips, and chopped almonds, these cookies are chewy, rich, and packed with flavor. With no flour or eggs required, they come together quickly and make a perfect dessert for coconut lovers.

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
⅔ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
⅓ cup chopped almonds
⅔ cup sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

In a large bowl, mix together the shredded coconut, chocolate chips, chopped almonds, and salt until evenly combined.

Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is fully coated and sticky.

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently shape and press each mound together to form compact cookies.

Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a nut-free version, simply omit the almonds. You can also drizzle melted chocolate over the tops after baking for extra indulgence. These cookies store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or can be frozen for longer storage.
