Here’s a small batch Almond Joy cookies recipe for you. This recipe makes about a dozen cookies.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup chopped almonds
- 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Egg Yolk and Vanilla: Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in Add-ins: Gently fold in the shredded coconut, chopped almonds, and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Shape Dough: Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop out the dough and place it onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly with the palm of your hand.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly underbaked, but they will continue to cook as they cool.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
