Joy Cookies are chewy, nutty, and chocolatey treats that combine shredded coconut, chopped almonds, and semi-sweet chocolate chips—perfect for lovers of the classic candy bar flavor.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the shredded coconut, chocolate chips, and chopped almonds.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and centers are set.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter for easier creaming.
- For extra crunch, toast the almonds before adding.
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
