Almond Joy Cookies are so easy to make and only require a handful of ingredients that you probably already have on hand. These coconut based cookies are made with flaked coconut, made extra light with whipped egg whites, are sweetened with condensed milk, and each one is topped off with a single salted almond before being baked in the oven. You’ll then top each cookie off with a drizzle (or a generous, drenching, pour) of melted chocolate for that classic and beloved coconut/almond/chocolate combo. These cookies are a simple treat and pay homage to an all-time favorite candy bar!
