Tools You’ll Need

How to Make Almond Joy Cookies

1: Mix Everything Together

1. In a large bowl, combine coconut, chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and chopped almonds.
2. Stir until fully coated—it’ll be thick and sticky!

2: Scoop & Pack Tightly

3. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to form tight, compact mounds (about 1.5–2 tbsp each).
4. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing 1 inch apart.
5. (Optional: Press a whole almond on top for looks!)

3: Bake & Cool

6. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 12–14 minutes—just until edges turn golden (they’ll firm up as they cool).
7. Let cool completely on the baking sheet (they’re fragile when warm!).
