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!

I’m asked for these cookies all the time! They are a favorite with everyone who’s tried them. One note: My oven runs hot, so I put a baking sheet on the bottom rack about 1/2 way through so I don’t have to worry about them burning on the bottom. Works great!

Just a heads up on your recipe I have been using for years. Condensed coconut milk is now being sold in 11.6 oz cans( all brands I think). I was clueless why my last batch were not right. It never occurred to me to check. 😩

I made these are they delicious! Do you think I could also make them as bars? If so, what size pan and time? Thank you.

I would imagine that would be easy to do. I’d try a 9 inch square pan to start!

I made these and they turned out great!!! So easy!! Think they’ll be my go too when it’s card playing time😋
Carla says
These cookies are amazing and ALWAYS such a crowd pleaser! No matter where I take them, at least one person always asks me for the recipe! I always add extra chopped almonds to mine (and could totally eat it by the spoonful before even baking it but I hold back!) Such a great, super easy recipe. Thank you!!!
