I’ve got a major coconut lover in my life – my Dad. He loves all things coconut: coconut cream pie, coconut macaroons, raspberry coconut magic bars and especially these easy Almond Joy Cookies. These cookies are crazy easy to make and bake up to ooey gooey perfection.
So no flour, no eggs, no butter…what the heck is in these cookies you ask? Chocolate chips, coconut, almonds, and sweetened condensed milk – that’s it! I scoop the cookies right onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet and off they go for about 12 to 14 minutes. When the bottoms starts to look golden brown and you seem some of the coconut with brown tips – it’s time to come out!
After scooping out the cookies with my cookie scoop, I wet my fingertips and kind of pat the cookies into more of a disc shape. The cookies are the same shape going in as they are coming out so it’s up to you!
If you love coconut, you simply have to give these a try! See how easy these are to make!

Oh my goodness, SO easy and SO tasty! And I don’t think you can mess these up, no matter what you do. We were short by a bit on coconut, a bit over on choc – it’s all good. Thanks for posting – this one is a keeper! 🙂

I LOVE these cookies. I love to bake and cook but with one of my kids away at college and my husband living in China, I don’t do either as often as I’d like these days. However, I have a networking meeting every Thursday morning and my fellow members have made it clear that they are more than ok with me bringing goodies in. SO, this Thursday I will be taking a plate of these in with me!

I’m so glad! A great excuse for baking 😀
Marjorie L Boyer says
I absolutely love these cookies. I dip the bottoms in melted chocolate and drizzle a little on top. They are very addictive!! They are requested for every event we attend.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
We make them that way too sometimes if I have extra time – so pretty!
carol hawley says
Could I leave out the nuts in this recipe? They look delicious
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Yep, you sure can 🙂
Kelley says
So my coworker would like me to add dried fruit to them for a fruitcake type cookie. Any suggestions on alterations I’d need to make to the recipe to incorporate dried fruit? And everyone loved the cookie by the way.
Julie says
Delicious and so easy. They do stick to foil, and I accidentally used wax paper and they melted into it. Parchment paper is a must
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Thanks Julie!
Christine says
These are so easy to make and taste absolutely delicious! I also used plain almonds and didn’t miss the salt at all. They really look beautiful too. Thanks for posting this recipe.

Deb Rinehart says
Mom On Timeout, simply put…I LOVE YOU! These cookies are FABULOUS! I followed your recipe to the letter & couldn’t be more thrilled! Thank you wonderful cookie maker! ~Deb R.~???
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
So glad you love the recipe Deb!
Lori says
These are awesome!! So easy to make and so yummy, they taste just like an Almond Joy candy bar! The only thing I did differently was, I bought the little pieces of almonds from the baking isle, and they have no salt, so I added a 1/2 teaspoon of salt to my batch and it was just enough to bring out the flavors a little better. I sent this recipe out to my sister, who loves it too!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
That was super smart! I’m so glad you like the cookies!
Jennifer says
These were a huge hit at Christmas! Will be making again soon!!!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
