🍪 Almond Joy Cookies
Ingredients (makes ~24 cookies)
For the cookies
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
For the mix-ins
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

- ¾ cup whole or chopped almonds (toasted if desired)
Instructions
1. Preheat & prep
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Make the cookie dough
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually mix dry ingredients into the butter mixture until combined.
3. Add mix-ins
- Fold in coconut, chocolate chips, and almonds.
4. Scoop & bake
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between cookies.

5. Cool & enjoy
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips & Variations
- Chewier cookies: Use more brown sugar than granulated sugar.
