These cookies were a big hit all around. Who doesn't love an almond joy? I made them for one of my husband's co-workers who is going through radiation and chemo. She absolutely loves cookies so I thought why not bake something for her. She especially liked these. My family enjoyed them as well. I am adding a photo I took of the dough before I baked them but I can't be sure if the photo of the baked cookies is the Mrs. Wakefield's Chocolate Chips or these cookies.
Almond Joy Cookies
Yield: 60 cookies
-1 cup unsalted butter, softened
-1 ½ cups white sugar
-2 eggs
-2 ¼ cups flour
-1 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp salt
-2 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut
-1 ½ bags chocolate chips (3 cups)
-2 cups peeled, slivered almonds
-1 cup unsalted butter, softened
-1 ½ cups white sugar
-2 eggs
-2 ¼ cups flour
-1 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp salt
-2 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut
-1 ½ bags chocolate chips (3 cups)
-2 cups peeled, slivered almonds
1) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and prepare two sheet
pans with parchment or silpats.
2) In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar
until creamy.
3) Add the eggs and beat until creamy
4) Meanwhile mix the dry ingredients together in a
separate bowl.
5) Add the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl and stir
until you have thick cookie dough.
6) Add the coconut, chocolate chips and almonds and mix
until well combined.
7) Scoop the cookies onto the sheet pans and bake at 350
for about 10 minutes. (when you take the cookies out they should still be a bit
doughy looking in the middle- they will stiffen up).
Enjoy!
