Almond Joy Cookies

Today I want to share a quick and easy recipe that I have been making on repeat lately. I like to bake a little sweet treat each weekend that we can munch on the following week. Confession: I have a sweet tooth the size of Africa and basically think dessert after lunch and dinner is a requirement. There are worse notions, I'm sure. 

This recipe for Almond Joy Cookies is oh so simple. Does it get much simpler than 4 ingredients? I think not! Not only is it simple, but these cookies taste like little drops of heaven. If you are a coconut person, you will love these. If you like the Almond Joy candy bar like me, these cookies will be your new favorite!

Ingredients:

14 oz can sweetened condensed milk

2 cups semi sweet OR dark chocolate chips (I've made it both ways and love both!)

14 oz bag of sweetened coconut flakes

2/3 cup of lightly salted almonds (I buy the ones in the can with the blue top)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray. 

2. In a large bowl, mix all 4 ingredients together with a spoon. Stir until well combined.

3. Wet your hands so the mixture doesn't stick to you, and begin rolling mixture into medium-sized balls in your hands. Pat each ball to slightly flatten, and place on your baking sheet. The shape of each cookie will not change from there, so space them as closely together as you want!

4. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the edges are golden. 

Enjoy!
