Homemade Sweet Treat, Almond Joy Cookies
Do you love coconut? How about chocolate? If you do then this cookie is for you. These yummy cookies are what I consider a cross between a chocolate chip cookie and a macaroon. They are very yummy but also very addictive. They didn’t last at our house long at all.
My kids helped me make our cookies. My son is such a good little helper and loves to cook in the kitchen. I used a hand mixer to mix up the sugar and butter. Then add in the eggs. I just stirred in the rest of the ingredients by hand.
I scooped the cookie dough by the teaspoonful and shaped it into a ball, just to keep them more uniform, since I don’t have a cookie scoop. I didn’t want some cooking faster than the others. I flattened the balls of cookie dough just ever so slightly and had the kids stick a chocolate chip on top.
While baking these smelled so good. We were definitely ready for one when they came out of the oven. But we waited the cooling time. I like our cookies a little crisper so I baked them a few extra minutes.
Not only did these cookies smell wonderful but they taste so good too. If you know someone who loves coconut these cookies would be a great gift. I am adding them to my Christmas baking list this year.
