These Small Batch Almond Joy Cookies are the perfect blend of coconut, semi-sweet chocolate, and sliced almonds. They can be baked and frozen ahead of time.
This is the time of year for all things cookie! One of my favorite candy bars is Almond Joy. To me, they are amazing. What is your favorite candy bar? Are you a snickers fan? Maybe you prefer a Twix or a 3 Musketeers. These Small Batch Almond Joy Cookies are the perfect blend of coconut, semi-sweet chocolate, and sliced almonds. They are simply amazing, and I had better freeze them before I eat way too many of these delectable beauties.

How to freeze and thaw cookies
Small Batch Almond Joy Cookies can be baked and frozen ahead of time. I pack all my cookies in double Ziploc freezer bags and place them in sturdy glad-ware containers. When defrosting, take them out of the containers frozen and place them on serving trays or platters uncovered. Never allow them to defrost in the plastic and the containers. The condensation that builds in there will ruin the cookies!
“I think cookies are sort of the unsung sweet, you know? They’re incredibly popular. But everybody thinks of cakes and pies and fancier desserts before they think of cookies. A plate of cookies is a great way to end dinner and really nice to share at the holidays.” – Bobby Flay
My darling daughter just loves these cookies and has declared that they are her new favorites. Do you have your holiday baking list together? These are perfect, and they are a small batch recipe making it even better for your Christmas baking because if your family is anything like ours, you will have fifteen cookies on your list. These Small Batch Almond Joy Cookies are just amazing!!

How to make Almond Joy Cookies
Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside. Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and the egg and mix just until incorporated.
Slowly blend the dry mixture into the creamed butter mixture. Stir in the chocolate chips, coconut flakes, and sliced almonds. Bake on parchment-covered baking sheets and remove to cookie cooling racks after ten minutes.
Recipe notes and helpful tips
- Always preheat your oven and load your cookies on the center rack in the middle of the oven.
- Use real unsalted sweet cream butter, and don’t forget to soften it.
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy however, do not over-mix.
- Bring your eggs to room temperature.
- Use good quality premium chocolate, sliced almonds, and coconut. It really does make a difference.
- Cover your baking sheets with parchment paper, or use silicone baking mats.
- For optimum results, bake one sheet of cookies at a time. Always let the cookie sheet cool before dropping more dough on it, as a warm cookie sheet can cause cookies to spread too fast. Another option is to use multiple baking sheets.
- Last but not least, and perhaps the most important tip of all. Bake a couple of cookies off first on a test run. If they spread too fast, refrigerate the dough for 1-2 hours and test again. If they do not spread enough, gently press the rounded spoonfuls of dough down with the palm of your hand and test again.

Wow! These are really yummy!! Turned out perfect.
★★★★★
Beth Pierce
Thanks, Frankie! So glad that you liked it!
TJ
DELICIOUS! I used King Arthur Measure for Measure Gluten Free Flour and one cup of dark chocolate chips. I will be making these again, and again, and again. Total hit!
★★★★★
Beth Pierce
Cool! So glad that you liked them! Thanks for the tip. My readers are always asking about gluten-free!

Any girl named Beth Pierce brings back
Memories of a nice girl we went to school with in our little country town north of NYC.
I’ve been making these for my mom for a few years now. Perfect recipe!! Thank you!
Beth Pierce
How sweet but that was not me. I am so glad that you like the Almond Joy Cookies!
Regina
Way too many chocolate chips. I would cut that amount almost in half. Maybe 1 cup instead. I thought so when I tasted the finished cookie. When my husband came home & had some, his first comment was “too much chocolate”.
★★★★
Pam Lucas
These are amazing! Easy to substitute ingredients to make gluten and dairy free. (Bob’s Red Mill All-Purpose Baking Flour Gluten Free flour, I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! Vegetable Oil Original Sticks, and cups Enjoy Life Baking Chips Chocolate Semi-Sweet Mini Gluten & Nut Free) They flatten a little more with the margarine, but are still delicious!! When I asked my kids what cookie to make for a Christmas cookie exchange, this was the only one they said to take.
★★★★★
Beth Pierce
Thanks, Pam! We appreciate the tips too!
Rachel
These cookies are to die for!! I LOVE almond joy and it is literally that candy bar in cookie form. Obsessed! I have brought these cookies to parties and shared with friends, and they’re a huge hit.
BUT, this time around I was adventurous and made a larger batch and froze some of it. Unfortunately, when I baked them, they came out dry and crumbly. No moisture and chewy goodness when I make it fresh. Any advice on that?
★★★★★
Beth Pierce
Interesting. I wonder if it has to do with the coconut. Let me ponder this one for a bit. Do you have any hunches on this one?
Rachel
I consulted my mom about it, and her response made sense to me. She said perhaps because of all the added ingredients, coconut and almonds specifically, could have dried out the dough? She mentioned adding just a touch of water to get some moisture and bring the ingredients back to life again?
Beth Pierce
Interesting
Lydia Husband
I found that the cookies were overpowered by the chocolate chips. Although they were good, I did not rally taste the coconut. Will have to tweak it a bit next time.
Elise
Really good! I followed the recipe almost exactly except I had mini chips so only needed 1 C (by volume) and instead of measuring I just dumped the whole 2 oz bag of sliced almonds in. Not sure how big my scoop is but I got nearly 30 fluffy, 2” wide cookies. 350° 10-11 minutes.
★★★★★
Beth Pierce
Thanks, Elise! I am so glad that you liked the cookies.
Reagan
One word…..A M A Z I N G !
★★★★★
Beth Pierce
Thanks Reagan! So glad that you liked the cookies!
Julie
I LOVE these cookies and they are my go to for a potluck. I just bought a 1.5 tblsp cookie scoop, since this recipe renewed my cookie baking 🙂 and have not used one before. Do I leave the top round or do I flatten it somewhat? I am not sure how they will spread from the mound as I was using a regular tablespoon to measure before.
★★★★★
Beth Pierce
So glad that you like them! I have always left them just round however I always encourage readers when in doubt to test 1-2 cookies with different processes before moving forward with a whole sheet. There are so many variables when making cookies. How soft was the butter, is my oven running exactly on temperature, was my baking soda fresh enough, etc.
Patti Clark
So I’m a little late to this party….but Holy Cow!
Almond Joys are my (and my Grandkids) absolute favorite candy, so I was unbelievably thrilled to stumble across this recipe on Pinterest. I literally said out loud…”OMG, they got my letter!”
I am a huge fan of all things coconut, so when you add almonds and chocolate … I’m all in! Suffice to say I had all ingredients on hand so I made the 3X scale recipe – substituting really good milk chocolate chips for the semi sweet (since Almond Joys are coated in milk chocolate…Mounds are dark chocolate) and they turned out sooooo incredible my family thought I bought them at a bakery!
Thank you so very much for this new family favorite!
★★★★★
Beth Pierce
Thanks Patti! I am happy to hear that you and your family really enjoyed them. They are tasty little nuggets!
Natalie
These turned out fantastic! I chopped whole almonds instead of using sliced. I used turbinado sugar instead of brown sugar. My butter was straight from the fridge and sliced and then I worked it using the paddle attachment. I didn’t need to put the dough in the fridge before I baked. I got 20 cookies making each one 1.5 ounces. They baked up perfect at 9 minutes. Yum!
★★★★★
Beth Pierce
Thanks Natalie! I am glad that you liked the cookies and they turned out perfect for you!
Marie
Would these work in a bar style?
Beth Pierce
This is a small batch cookie recipe. I have never tried baking them in bars. Theoretically it should work but I am unsure if there is enough batter to cover the bottom of a small square pan.
Ramona
Best ever vegan almond joy cookies…. Oh my gosh, sincerely Major hit…. Absolutely love them, am sharing your recipe with everyone, can’t wait till my church family tries them this coming Saturday, Sabbath
Beth Pierce
Thanks Ramona so glad that you liked them!
Liz Anderson
These turned out sooooo good!!! I didn’t have almonds and used pecan instead, and dark chocolate chips and unsweetened coconut. Ohmygosh!!! These are my favorite!!!
★★★★★
Beth Pierce
Thanks Liz! So glad that you liked them!
Becky
I have not made these but double-checked the recipe in response to your comment that these are the best ‘vegan’ almond joy cookies. I have a vegan son so I’m always on the lookout for recipes he would like.
These contain butter and egg; therefore, are not vegan.
Sandy
Easy peasy made them just like the recipe and they were a hit!!
★★★★★
Beth Pierce
Thanks Sandy! So glad that everyone liked them!
Donna W
These cookies turned out so delicious! I got about 2 dozen cookies oit of one batch so not very many but they are very tasty. This recipe is a keeper.

Linda Keith~Dever
Can Almond Flour be used?
Beth Pierce
I am not sure. I do not work with it. Maybe the readers will know.
Mel
If you are looking for a GF option, I used King Arthur Gluten Free Measure-for-Measure flour. It worked out great!
Kellie Sung
Can I make these the day before ?
Beth Pierce
yes
Ann
Can you use salted butter?
Beth Pierce
Yes you can but omit the salt in the recipe and they might be a little saltier than the original recipe but I do not think you will notice the difference.
Kellie
Do I need to chill the dough?
Beth Pierce
Bake a couple of cookies off first on a test run. If they spread too fast refrigerate the dough for 1-2 hours and test again. If they do not spread enough gently press the rounded spoonful’s of dough down with the palm of your hand and test again.
Sooz
I didn’t see the hint to use unsalted butter until after I mixed up the batter as it’s written after the recipe.I even doubled check the butter in the recipe to see if it called for salted or unsalted. Next time.
Beth Pierce
Sorry about that. If unstated most recipes are referring to unsalted butter. I will add it to the recipe.
Angela
These look so tasty. Having company this weekend. These would be a great dessert.
Beth Pierce
Thank you! Yes they would. They are so yummy!
Bonnie
Made a double batch, turned out perfect!! Family loves these! Thank you for this recipe!!!

Thanks Bonnie! Glad that you and your family love them!
Ella
These look delicious. Adding this to my must try list for the next time we have company.
Beth Pierce
Thanks Ella! I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
Sab
I made a double batch tonight. The flavor and texture are great but I found them to be incredibly oily. I may either cut the oil by 25% or sub 50% apple sauce next time and see how that goes.
I half-dipped them in semi-sweet chocolate and sprinkled edible stars on the dipped half. They look gorgeous and know people will enjoy them.
Thank you for the recipe 🙂

I made these for our daughter’s wedding reception. Made ahead of time and froze them. They were perfect! Everyone enjoyed them. They have since become a Christmas favorite. Making a double batch today. Thanks for such a delicious cookie recipe!

Definitely a new Christmas cookie favorite in my house! Making a second batch today since the first batch is already gone!

Thanks Britt! Glad that you enjoy them and Merry Christmas!

Can I freeze the dough instead of freezing the baked cookies and bake them from the freezer like you can with chocolate chip cookie dough?
Beth Pierce
Yes you can.
Linda
I made these this morning in preparation for Christmas. They are really really good. I’m going to freeze them until I am ready to take them around to the neighbors. 😊
★★★★★

Thanks Linda! So happy that you like them!
Donna Nance
Have to try these! Costco was closing out their bags of sliced almonds so I have plenty…ha!
Beth Pierce
Thanks Donna! Enjoy!!
Pat Zuzack
These are the best cookies ever. Tasted like almond joy candy bar. Thank you!!
★★★★★
Beth Pierce
Thanks Pat! So glad that you liked them!!
JD
Mine came out okay; they just didn’t taste almond-y enough. I think I’d try this again with almond extract instead of vanilla or maybe the toasted almonds others have suggested.
★★★★
Cindy
Can you use milk chocolate chips in this recipe? Also, can you mix and roll into balls and freeze to back at a later time?
Beth Pierce
Yes on both counts. Enjoy!! Happy baking!!
nancy Babineau
I was wondering if I can chill the dough and bake the next day, i have a rhythm making xmas cookies and it works best or me to make one day and bake the next and keep going. would that work or would the end result be different?
Beth Pierce
Yes you can.
Melissa
I was wondering if i could use chopped almonds instead of sliced? Thats what i have on hand
Beth Pierce
Yes, you can. Sorry about the delay. It has been so busy!
Bonnie
I just made them and my son said you better hide them. Lol
Beth Pierce
Awesome! So glad that he likes them!!

Just made these today for a cookie exchange. I am not a baker but these turned out awesome. My hubby got so excited licking the bowl and the beaters. Thank you for sharing this recipe with all of us cause I love me some almond joy!!
Beth Pierce
The pleasure is all mine! So glad that you liked them!!
Ami
Made these for Christmas….made and and will freeze. Cooking time was more like 14min with room temp dough. Blanched almonds that I toasted. I used Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 flour. Delicious!! Very easy.
★★★★★
Elaine
Thanks for the recipe. I made these as instructed and they were fabulous! Will definitely make again. Yum
★★★★★
Beth Pierce
Thanks so glad that you liked them. They are tasty little morsels!
Brenda
I can’t eat butter. What substitute would you recommend for this recipe?
★★★★★
Beth Pierce
Can you eat margarine?
Janet
Can you use salted butter and just leave the salt out of the recipe? I never buy unsalted butter. I hate to buy it just for this recipe even though they sound amazing!
Beth Pierce
Sure. That would work just fine.
Helen
I triple this recipe because I have so many people in my life who love the cookies.
Thanks for the tips about freezing and thawing the cookies.
They are the best!
Beth Pierce
Thanks Helen! So glad that you like them!!
Angela Riker
These cookies are delicious!
★★★★★
Niki
Do I toast the almonds first.?
Beth Pierce
You do not have to but it does sound like an awesome addition to the recipe.
April
These look amazing, but I can’t eat almonds. Are they still worth the try if I omit almonds? Is there another nut altogether that I could add that would compliment these?
Beth Pierce
Can you eat other nuts like walnuts and pecans?
Susan Creedon
That you for posting this recipe. Since I found these in the store I’m dying to make my own.
Beth Pierce
I hope you enjoy them!
Trish
I made these delectable cookies as instructed. I found them delicious and I will most likely make them again. However, I think it’s important not to over bake them, as you would chocolate chip cookies. Obviously, this must be the reason they must cool for 10 minutes before removing them from the cookie sheet. Thanks again for this yummy, cookie!
hail
I made these cookies a few times and they are amazing! super easy to make and super yummy! i am 10 and i made them in like 9 minutes and i am not a good backer but this was super fun and easy…… super creamy and easy to put on the oven pan! great idea and recipe! this is by far my favourite cookie!
★★★★★
Beth Pierce
Thanks Hail! So glad that you like them! You sound like a food blogger in the making!
Teresa Jackson
I just made these for the first time since I was craving coconut and chocolate at the same time and they are amazing. The only thing that I saw was I believe that the dough should be refrigerated 15 to 20 minutes to keep them from spreading so fast and it seemed a little sweet with the semi sweet chocolate chips and wondered how dark unsweetened chocolate chips would be but other than that, it’s a keeper for me. Thanks for this recipe!
Billie McCombs
Great recipe, Heavenly cookies!! Easy, simple recipe. And I got 30 cookies. I love a chocolate-almond-coconut combo in any form.
Thanks for sharing!
★★★★★

I am not a coconut fan I made them without the coconut and they turn out great.

What about refrigerating the dough for a couple days? I want to prep them today but make them on Valentine’s Day (4 days).. or should I freeze it?
Beth Pierce
That should be fine but if you go five days or more I suggest that you freeze it.
Christine Saunders
I made these today for my daughter. Instead of using sugar and brown sugar I used swerve white and brown. Then I used Lilys sugar free chocolate chips. They are amazing! Thank you for sharing your recipe. 🥰 God bless you!
Beth Pierce
Thanks Christine! So glad you were able to adapt them to your needs and wants.
Susan Lindstrom
My new favorite recipe. I toasted the coconut and the nuts before adding them to the dough. It brought out those flavors nicely

Star
These look amazing i tried them i don’t know what I did wrong but mine came out super flat 😭 i followed all the directions im so super sad do you know why ?
Beth Pierce
Your butter could have been too soft. Your baking soda could need replacing. You could have overworked the dough. I always advise on baking 1-2 cookies to test. If they spread too fast refrigerate the dough for an hour or so.
Melinda
Just made these and oh my they are wonderful, I didn’t have almonds so I used chopped walnuts, so so amazing. Thank you for sharing.🎄🎄

Cindy Garza
Can you use salted butter for these?
Beth Pierce
Yes you most certainly could in cookies.
Sally
Thank you for the recipe. My husband and I can’t eat the nuts so I turned them into MOUNDS cookies. I followed the original recipe , just left the almonds out. Delicious!
Beth Pierce
Thanks Sally! So glad that you and your husband liked them!
Elizabeth
I made these for the first time today after reading many reviews. I made them as per the posted recipe. I wonder if I might cut back on the chocolate chips next go around as the chocolate flavor overpowered the coconut flavor until there was nothing left of the cookie in your mouth and then, voila, the coconut flavor cooked in. I refrigerated my dough for about 1/2 hour prior to baking. I baked my cookies for about 11-12 minutes, turning them and keeping my eye on them. I ended up with a crisp edge and a soft center. Lovely. I also would like to share that I weigh my rolled cookie dough in order to achieve a consistent size finished cookie. The finished cookie presents itself nicely when they’re a uniform size. I started with a 20 gram (3/4 oz.) ball and after eating one after the test-run decided to drop it down to 15 grams as they are very rich. I think this is a great cookie to give as a gift or kept in the freezer for those of you who have late night cravings! I’ll make them again for sure! 🙂
★★★★★
Beth Pierce
Thanks so much Elizabeth! I am so glad that you liked them and thanks for all the wonderful tips!!
Crissy
Can you use self-rising flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Beth Pierce
I have never worked with self rising flour so I would recommend all purpose flour.
Peggy
Oh my goodness. These are I think the best cookies I’ve ever made. My husband loves almond joy candy bar but cannot eat the almonds. With this recipe I can use my ninja and chop them up so he can eat them. He just loves these cookies. I know what I’m making for Christmas. Thank you Beth. I will be making these from now on. Have a blessed day
Beth Pierce
Thanks so much Peggy! So glad that you were able to adapt the cookies so your husband can enjoy them. Merry Christmas!!

These look sooooo good! Can’t wait to make them. Wondering if anyone has ever tried baking them as a bar type cookie rather than a drop style cookie? Obviously, the bake time/temp might need adjusted. First time for everything!

Oh my goodness, these cookies are amazing!! I only had unsweetened coconut and chopped up some whole almonds but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Made them last night and I already ate 5 of them. I actually think they are even better the 2nd day! Thank you for such a delicious recipe!

How do you think these cookies would turn out making bars instead?
Beth Pierce
I think they would be good but I have not tried them that way. Please let us know if you do and how they turn out.

I’d like to make and overnight mail these to my sister in another state. I’ll pack them really well. But do you think they’ll survive or be overcome by the heat and fall apart?
★★★★★
Beth Pierce
I am not sure. What state? I did find this interesting article on shipping cookies. How to Pack Cookies for Mailing
Stacy
These are delicious! I will make these again and again. Mine took 17 min at 350 but I used a fairly large cookie scoop because I like dense uniformly shaped cookies. They were beautifully browned on the outside with a soft chewy center. The toasted coconut and almond flavor was outstanding. The only change I made was to add a bit of coconut extract in addition to the vanilla. Thank you for the wonderful recipe. 😊
★★★★★
Beth Pierce
Thanks Stacy! So glad that you liked them! I wish I had a couple with my coffee this morning!
Mimi
I just baked these cookies – they are on the cooling rack, but of course ate a few after I took them off the cookie sheet. These are really good! I baked 1st pan for 9 minutes. Since it’s in the 90s in SW FL today, I scooped out the rest of the dough onto wax paper on a small pan and placed it in the refrigerator until cookie sheet was cooled down from 1st batch. Since these cookies were cooler, I baked them 10 minutes – they came out just like your picture. So I will probably refrigerate the scooped cookie dough for 10-20 minutes before baking the next time I make them. There will definitely be a next time! Thank you for sharing.
★★★★★
Beth Pierce
Thanks Mimi! So glad that you liked them and I appreciate your tips. We always need good reliable tested tips.
Veronica
Wow! Sounds like a great recipe Beth. I will be making them, but instead use milk chocolate chips AND whole almonds….many comments here, i didn’t read if anyone chose to use whole almonds?!? I will try. Thank you much for this!
★★★★
Beth Pierce
You are most welcome Veronica. I don’t think anyone has used whole almonds. Let me know how the recipe turns out!

These cookies are PERFECTION! Followed the recipe, only used unsweetened coconut Watched them closely, but bake an extra 2 minutes for more crispiness. YUMMY!
★★★★★
Beth Pierce
Thanks Tammy! So glad that you liked them!!
Janis
This is my new favorite cookie recipe. These cookies were absolutely amazing and everyone loved them. The combination of coconut, almonds and chocolate was perfect. Since we have a toddler in the house I did soften the almonds in water so I could chop them in my blender. In my oven baking for 10 minutes was just right.

Bonjour Beth, I have made them a second time and they are even better the second time around. I do not understand why I feel so ecstatic about cookies but honestly, you are making my night. It’s such a nice feeling finding a perfect recipe like this one. Merci!
Susan Miller
I’ve been a cookie maker for over 55 years, and this is one of the best cookies I’ve ever made! They turned out exactly like your picture, and I love the small batch part! I knew when the uncooked dough was delicious, it was a winner! Thank you for such a great recipe!

Beth Pierce
That is so sweet! Thanks Susan! So glad that you liked them. Cookie dough is hard to resist sometimes.

How do you measure the shredded coconut? Do you pack it or just fill it up to the top of the cup and call it good?
Beth Pierce
I just fill it up to the top of the cup and call it good!
Christina
Thanks so much for sharing this recipe! My boyfriend and I love these cookies!! Quick question, as I noted in your blog you mention to use unsalted butter – which I did. In the recipe however, it just calls for 1 stick of butter (it does not specify salted or unsalted). So with this said, in the nutrition facts, is the sodium reflective of a recipe with unsalted butter or salted butter would you say?
★★★★★
Beth Pierce
So glad that you and your boyfriend like the cookies. The nutritional facts are for unsalted butter. When most bakers mention butter in their recipe it is for unsalted butter unless stated salted butter. Happy baking!
Karen Theriault
Thank you so very much for sharing this wonderful easy recipe. I made these twice already. I only put 1/4 of each of the sugar and with the sweetness of the coconut and the chocolate chips, it was spot on. I made them again this afternoon, I put in hazelnuts instead of the almonds with both vanilla and caramel extract and they are WONDERFUL. Again, thank you for sharing, these cookies are my ultimate favorites.
Beth Pierce
Thanks Karen! So glad that you like them! Thanks for the tips!
LC
Absolutely delicious!Followed recipe exactly and came out perfect.
Beth Pierce
Thanks so much LC! So glad that you liked it!
Bridget
These were absolutely delicious! Coconut taste wasn’t as prominent as I had hoped, but that might have been due to the age of the coconut flakes. Cookies were done immediately at the 9 minute mark; any more time and they would have burned in the oven. Overall, these cookies were definitely worth making!
★★★★★
Beth Pierce
Thanks so much Bridget! So glad that you liked them. Maybe I should move that time to 8-9 minutes.

Wow!!! Seriously the best cookie EVER! I love that it’s small batch too…these are dangerous.?

I was looking for a way to use up Almond Joys we had after Halloween and slightly modified this terrific recipe to turn them into cookies! If anyone else has extra Almond Joys and wants to try it, follow the recipe with these two adjustments:
– substitute 1 1/2 cups chopped almond joys for the 1 cup of coconut flakes.
( I used the mixer when I added these to incorporate into the batter)
– use 1 cup of chocolate chips instead of 1 1/2 cups (because the almond joys have some chocolate)
Thanks for the recipe

Beth Pierce
Thanks Deb for the tip. Sounds delicious and so glad that you found a great way to use up those Almond Joy candy bars.
Stephanie
I’m loving these cookies.everything goes perfectly together.

Beth Pierce
Thanks so much Stephanie! So glad that you enjoyed them!!
Heidi
Does this receipe do ok if it’s doubled. My husband can almost eat one batch
Beth Pierce
The only thing I would change is 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract when doubled instead of 2.
Ellen
These cookies are delicious, people just coming back for more, plus I could not stay out of them either.
Beth Pierce
Thanks Ellen! I am so glad that you and your guests liked them!!

These cookies are out-of-this-world DELICIOUS!
I could tell from the picture that I was going to love them, so I just doubled the recipe right off the bat.
One thing that I noticed though, is that the cookies seemed to continue to brown a bit after I removed them from the oven, but that wasn’t a problem.
I also refrigerated the dough for a little more than an hour before baking.
Seriously, I don’t think I’ve ever made such a delicious and fabulous-looking cookie before. These are the BEST!
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe!
Beth Pierce
The pleasure is all mine. So glad that you liked them! We love them too! They are delicious little critters!
Jean
I just found this recipe two days ago. So far I have made 4 batches. I took them to my group who devoured them, my neighbor who said they are the best cookies they have ever eaten. The recipe is perfect, the cookies come out perfect every time and they are so easy. I cooked them for the recommended 12 minutes perfection. The only problem I see is that I may put on a lot of weight as my husband and I ate the first batch all 24 of them. I have already forwarded the recipe to all of my friends.
One of my friends does not like coconut but she said they were delicious and so glad she tried them. If I could give 100 stars I would. Best cookie recipe ever.

Marji
Just made these. Absolutely yum (and I don’t even like Almond Joys because I’m not fond of coconut). Doubled the recipe because I’ve been making monthly cookies to send to my father, my brother and my son as last year’s Christmas present. I’m sure they’ll love them. Followed the recipe exactly and consider them one of my top five favorite cookies. Thanks so much.
★★★★★
Beth Pierce
That is awesome Marji! Thank you! I am sure your family will love them and appreciate your thoughtfullness!
Laura
What about using macadamia nuts instead of almonds?
Thanks
Beth Pierce
Yes you most certainly could do that! Delicious!

These are amazing!!! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly.
★★★★★
Beth Pierce
Thanks Danielle! So glad that you liked them!
Heidi
Do you think it would taste good to substitute almond extract for the vanilla?
Beth Pierce
Yes but I might go a little lighter with it since almond extract seems to be more potent.
Brenda Brown
I made these cookies today, absolutely amazing. I have a new favorite cookie. One thing, my first batch I let bake for the 9 minutes and they were a little over done but still good, so next batch I baked for 6 minutes and they were perfect. I can’t stop eating them, OMG.

Beth Pierce
Thanks Brenda! So glad that you liked them. I may make another note on the recipe. I have since purchased a new oven and I wonder if my old oven was off ever so slightly

Cookies were good, nice blend of flavors … but too cakey for my taste. I did double the recipe including the eggs, but just one egg might have been better. I baked the first batch at 375 for about 10 minutes but cookies were too dark & too baked so I turned down to 350 & baked for about 11 minutes, not over-baked & not as cakey either. Will definitely try again!
Beth Pierce
Thanks for the helpful tips!!
Vanessa
Thanks for sharing! It is so nice to have a cookie that can go in the freezer and come out when company is coming!

How can you get 24 to 26 cookies? I used 1 Tablespoon and only got 12 cookies.
Beth Pierce
Hum…thanks for the heads up. Maybe my notes on this recipe are incorrect. Did you omit anything?

I got 19 cookies, but that’s ok. I think I just over filled the spoon. I’ve made these

Wondering if anyone has frozen them after baking. I am thinking of making them and freezing some. I have never frozen cookies with coconut in them.

Could you use almond flour instead of reg flour ?
Beth Pierce
I am not sure! I have not tried. Please let us know if you do and how they turn out!

Followed directions exactly. Cookies taste pretty much like a typical chocolate chip cookie. Disappointed I didn’t get that Almond Joy flavor.
★★★★
Beth Pierce
I think they are delicious and I love their flavor.
Judy
Could you use almond f
Almond instead of vanilla
Beth Pierce
Yes you certainly could. Almond extract is a little stronger than vanilla so I would go with 1/2 teaspoon. Happy baking.
Lauren
I have to agree. They taste good but I wouldn’t call them Almond Joy cookies just because they have coconut, chocolate, and almonds.
Larae
Then just make them and call them whatever you want.
Paula Schlegel
Looking forward to making these. My husband is a huge coconut fan. Thanks for sharing!
Beth Pierce
My pleasure Paula!

I am making these this morning using toasted coconut. I have lots of this coconut that I got in my co-op recently. It will be interesting to see if this works!!
Beth Pierce
Delicious!
ANN
I just made these cookies for the first time and they came out nothing like the picture , although they were good . I noticed when I went to fold all the batter together , it was dry , I had to roll the dough and then flatten them on the cookie sheet . I baked mine at 340 degrees and they were perfect .
Sandra mauldin
I don’t understand in the above ingredients it states 1 and 1/8 cup of flour….never heard of 1/8 cup? Is this a typo?
Beth Pierce
It is two tablespoons. I really did not want to put one cup flour plus two tablespoons.
Rose
One of my favorite cookies (which is pretty much a short list of 2). I will be making these next week. I must comment on the 1/8 cup of flour as a former student of culinary school, using 1/8 cup is a no no! I have used many recipes that call for a cup of this or that, plus 2 tablespoons or teaspoons. Never had I seen 1/8 cup used.
Beth Pierce
They are delicious little cookies. Thanks for the heads up but they even sell the 1/8 cup now.
Aurora
Do you toast the almonds before adding to the batter?
Beth Pierce
No you do not but you most certainly can.
Deb
Can you use milk chocolate chips instead?
Beth Pierce
Yes you can.

I just made this cookie and I am so happy with the results. For all you other novice cookie makers 1/8 cup is 2 tablespoons. Knowing my oven bakes hot I baked them at 350 for 10 minutes and they turned out great! Thanks for a new cookie recipe that I will keep.
★★★★
Beth Pierce
Awesome! I am so glad that you liked them! They are delicious little nuggets!
Mindy
We are cookie lovers so I doubled the recipe. I used dark chocolate chips and pecans because I had them on hand. I cut back on the chips by a cup. Just looked like so many. They didn’t spread out like the photo, maybe because I put the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes so they would come out of the cookie scoop easier. Very tasty. I would make again,

Glad that you liked the cookies. They are one of our favorites.

I baked mine the same way.

Just made these because I’m still in the NEW OVEN mode (switched from electric to gas range) and it’s so fun to make new things. These cookies are super delish!! Thanks for the recipe–also almond joys are amazing candy bars so…come on HOW can you lose.
Beth Pierce
Thanks so much! I agree with you! How can you lose! Such a delicious cookie!
Nora
Has anybody tried making this with earth balance butter (no dairy ) and rice flour ?
Mary Lou
I used earth balance and Enjoy Life mini chips(no dairy also). Used regular flour. Very good cookie with these changes. Baked for12 minutes…watching carefully!
Veronika
How much sugar should I add if i use unsweetened coconut flakes?
Beth Pierce
I would think just one teaspoon. Coconut is naturally pretty sweet.

Hey Beth, Good Day !! Can I substitute almond flour or coconut flour for the AP flour in this recipe? And can I substitute Splenda brown sugar and sugar in this recipe??
Beth Pierce
Good morning! I am not sure. I have not tried. Please let us know if you do and what the results were.
Andee
I substituted Splenda and they came out fine . I do find them to be bit dry, which maybe due to the substitution.
★★★★
Beth Pierce
Gotcha. That could be because I have never found them dry.
ELAINE I BERGMAN-BURNS Bergman-Burns
Maybe use Honey or Agave?

MaryBeth
I just found this recipe and baked using almond flour. I baked them for about twelve minutes, rotating the pans half way through at 340 degrees.
They came out amazing! Love them, so soft and gooey with the chocolate and the subtle coconut flavor is wonderful. Thanks for the recipe.
★★★★★
Beth Pierce
You are most welcome MaryBeth! So glad that you liked them!
Linda Myer
Could you possibly use pecans in this recipe? I know it would no longer be an almond joy cookie. Guess we’d have to call it a “pecan joy” cookie. LOL. Would work for me.
Beth Pierce
Yes you certainly can. Pecan Joy Cookies sound good to me!
Karen Neyland
Absolutely loved this recipe! Cookies are delicious! 12 minute baking time was perfect! Wouldn’t change a thing. This is definitely a keeper for me. Thanks so much for sharing!
Beth Pierce
Thanks so much. So glad that you liked them. They are one of our favorites!
Nikki
Made these today and couldn’t be happier! I do have to say – at least for my oven/experience – I really had to watch them. The first batch was starting to burn on the bottom after 10 minutes and the 2nd batch completely burned after 13 minutes (I had to answer the door so they got neglected). Super tasty. I would choose these over a candy bar.
Beth Pierce
Thanks so much! So glad that you liked them. Thanks for the heads up! I have not made these since I got a new oven. I will make a note on the recipe and perhaps reduce the time zone by a minute.

Ellen
Can this cookie dough be frozen and then baked?
Beth Pierce
Yes it can. You might need to add a couple of minutes to the baking time to bake from the frozen state.
Heaven
Can you freeze the cookies after they’re made to keep fresh? Or is it better to not?
Beth Pierce
Yeah you most certainly can freeze them. I think if you intend to have them around and fresh tasting for a few weeks it is best to freeze them.
