Not too long ago, a version of this cookie was circulating Facebook and I wanted to make them but never got around to it.
A friend of mine is having a retirement party for her husband tomorrow and asked a few of us if we would like to make some cookies for the party. These Almond Joy cookies immediately popped into my head. So I looked up a few recipes and this one had the best reviews.
While these cookies are mighty tasty, I feel like 2 cups of coconut flakes just isn't enough to fulfill that Almond Joy taste. The recipe below I have added an additional cup of coconut flakes which I think will do the trick. The recipe also called for chopped almonds. All I had were slivered almonds so I used them instead. I like the chunkiness of them. Makes it more like the actual Almond Joy.
Makes 6 dozen cookies!
