The Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make these Almond Joy Cookies (exact measurements and full recipe instructions are below in the printable recipe card):

  • Sweetened flaked coconut – you will find sweetened flaked coconut in the baking aisle.
  • Sweetened condensed milk
  • Almonds – use almonds that are roasted and salted. I found them in the nut section of the snack aisle and lightly chopped them before adding to the cookie dough.
  • Semi sweet chocolate chips – semi sweet chocolate has just the right flavor for these cookies and won’t burn quickly like milk chocolate chips will.

How to Make Almond Joy Cookies

  • This could not be easier! Just mix all four ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

  • Then, scoop the dough onto cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. This is especially easy to do if you have a cookie scoop. Once you have all of the cookies scooped onto the sheets, wet your hands with water and shape the cookies into rounds and slightly flatten the tops.

  • Bake the cookies at 325ºF for 12-14 minutes until the edges are golden brown.

  • Allow the cookies to cool to room temperature on the cookie sheets, then you can serve them immediately or move them to wire cooling racks.

Variations

  • CHOCOLATE DRIZZLE – For extra chocolate flavor, melt 1/4-1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave in 15 second intervals then drizzle over the top of the baked and cooled cookies.
  • DIFFERENT NUTS – You can switch it up and go with chopped walnuts or pecans.
  • CHERRY – Add dried cherries to the cookie batter for a fruity twist.

How to Store the Cookies

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container, on a plate wrapped with plastic wrap, or in a zip top bag. The cookies will keep at room temperature for 3-5 days.

    My family loves these cookies. We had so many goodies during Christmas, I had to freeze about a dozen. To our surprise they were just as delicious when we took them out of the freezer days to over a week later!

    This is one of my favorite recipes! I make these cookies every year. There many recipes like this one, but yours is so easy to follow and of course I love your writing! I use mini chips and only use 1.5 cups because, well, a lot more chips fit in the cup! Thank you and many Blessings to your family this holiday season

      Thank you NanaDonna!

  9. Dianna says:

    Can you use mini chocolate chips? If so, how much?

    1. Jill says:

      Hi Dianna. You could absolutely sub minis for regular. I would start out at a 1 1/2 cups and combine and then add more if the ratio seems off.

    2. NanaDonna says:

      I use mini all the time because they distribute more evenly. I use 1.5 cups.

    Easy and delicious! Beware of calories though… you’ll want more than one!
