Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 7

14 oz sweetened coconut flakes
1 scant cup sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large egg whites room temperature
1/4 teaspoon salt
30 salted almonds
4 ounce dark chocolate bar (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 325F (165C) and line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, stir together coconut flakes, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until well-combined.
  • In a separate bowl (make sure that it is completely clean and dry) combine the egg whites and salt (make sure no yolk gets in with the whites!).
  • Using an electric mixer with whisk attachment, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  • Gently fold the egg whites into the coconut mixture until ingredients are completely combined.
  • Using a 1 1/2 Tablespoon-sized cookie scoop, scoop macaroon mixture into balls and drop onto prepared cookie sheet, placing at least 1" apart.
  • Gently nestle a single almond snugly into the top of each coconut mound.
  • Transfer to oven and bake on 325F for 20-23 minutes or until tops are just beginning to turn golden brown.
  • Allow cookies to cool completely before drizzling with chocolate.
  • To prepare chocolate -- chop chocolate bar into small even-sized pieces and place in a small microwave-safe bowl.
  • Heat in 20-second increments, (stirring in between) until chocolate is smooth and completely melted.
  • Drizzle chocolate over each cooled Almond Joy cookie, then allow chocolate to harden before serving.
