Almond Joy Oatmeal Cookies
I like Almond Joy candy bars. What’s not to like? Chocolate, coconut, almonds – all very good things. I decided to try to turn the taste of an Almond Joy into a cookie. I found a few recipes, but I really wanted to create the chewiness of the candy bar, so I settled on an oatmeal version. Essentially, the recipe is an oatmeal cookie with the addition of dark chocolate, coconut, and toasted almonds. I had to chill the cookie dough for about 20 minutes so the cookies kept their shape, but other than that, I pretty much just followed the recipe. The cookies turned out good – like an oatmeal cookies with chocolate, coconut, and almonds. It’s not exactly like an eating an Almond Joy, but it’s like eating a really good oatmeal cookie.
