Description
Chewy, coconut-packed cookies inspired by Almond Joy—with crisp edges, melty chocolate centers, and a cozy small-batch size that comes together fast with no mixer required.
Ingredients
0.5 cup granulated sugar
0.25 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
0.25 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
0.5 cup white chocolate chips
0.25 cup roasted salted almonds, roughly chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, coconut, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
4. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped almonds gently.
5. Scoop dough using a tablespoon or cookie scoop and slightly flatten onto the baking sheet.
6. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are golden and centers are just set.
7. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
8. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
Notes
Do not use unsweetened coconut or the texture will turn dry and crumbly.
Roasted salted almonds give the best flavor—avoid raw or slivered.
Microwave leftovers for 10 seconds to restore melty chocolate centers.
