Several months ago, John saw a picture on FaceBook of Almond Joy Cookies and sent me the post. He thought I ought to give the cookies a try and I agreed. I tracked down the picture and recipe to its source and decided I needed to make them sometime. Well, that sometime came when one of his co-workers asked me to make some cookies for her wedding. I made a batch of these cookies, and wow, I’m glad I had to pack them off for wedding guests or I would have eaten ALL of them myself!….And this recipe makes a lot!

Almond Joy Cookies are spectacular!
These cookies are loaded with 5 cups of chocolate chips, 2 cups of almonds, and 2 cups of coconut! WOW.
You will drool over these cookies for sure! Almond Joy Cookies pack a powerful punch of chocolate!
Here’s what I did.
Measure butter, sugars, eggs, vanilla, baking soda, and salt into a large measuring bowl.
Cream ingredients with an electric mixer until smooth.
Add UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour. Bleached flour toughens baked goods. Add almonds, coconut and chocolate chips. You really need a large bowl to stir all of these ingredients together.
Combine the ingredients with a wooden spoon. Roll mixture into golf-ball sized balls and place on cookie sheets that have been sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes. Because mine were a little on the large side, it took 17 minutes for them to bake completely.
I made a batch of Almond Joy Cookies for a wedding….but I made sure I sampled one first!
Almond Joy Cookies are great for tailgating parties or anytime you have company.
These cookies aren’t overly difficult to make, but they do take a LOT of almonds, coconut, and chocolate chips!
Here’s the recipe.
