These Small Batch Almond Joy Cookies are the perfect blend of coconut, semi-sweet chocolate, and sliced almonds. They can be baked and frozen ahead of time.
This is the time of year for all things cookie! One of my favorite candy bars is Almond Joy. To me, they are amazing. What is your favorite candy bar? Are you a snickers fan? Maybe you prefer a Twix or a 3 Musketeers. These Small Batch Almond Joy Cookies are the perfect blend of coconut, semi-sweet chocolate, and sliced almonds. They are simply amazing, and I had better freeze them before I eat way too many of these delectable beauties.
