Almond Joy Cookies: A Simple, 4-Ingredient Delight That’s Pure Bliss!

by
  • 1 (14 oz) bag sweetened coconut flakes
    (Forms the base of the cookies and adds natural sweetness.)
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
    (Creates gooey pockets of chocolate throughout.)
  • 2/3 cup chopped lightly salted almonds
    (We used Blue Diamond Low Sodium Lightly Salted almonds—light blue bag—for crunch and flavor.)
  • Optional Toppings : Extra chocolate chips, coconut flakes, or almond slices for added flair.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Combine Coconut and Chocolate Chips

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened coconut flakes and semi-sweet chocolate chips . Stir until well mixed.

Step 3: Add Chopped Almonds

  1. Fold in the chopped lightly salted almonds , ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 4: Form the Cookies

  1. Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart .
  2. Gently press each mound slightly to flatten it into a disk shape.

Step 5: Bake Until Set

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes , or until the edges are lightly golden and set but the centers remain soft. Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even cooking.

Step 6: Cool and Serve
