Ingredients
14
oz
sweetened coconut flakes
1
scant cup
sweetened condensed milk
1
teaspoon
vanilla extract
2
large
egg whites room temperature
¼
teaspoon
salt
30
salted almonds
4
ounce
dark chocolate bar
optional
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325F (165C) and line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, stir together coconut flakes, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until well-combined.
In a separate bowl (make sure that it is completely clean and dry) combine the egg whites and salt (make sure no yolk gets in with the whites!).
Using an electric mixer with whisk attachment, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the egg whites into the coconut mixture until ingredients are completely combined.
Using a 1 1/2 Tablespoon-sized cookie scoop, scoop macaroon mixture into balls and drop onto prepared cookie sheet, placing at least 1" apart.
Gently nestle a single almond snugly into the top of each coconut mound.
Transfer to oven and bake on 325F for 20-23 minutes or until tops are just beginning to turn golden brown.
Allow cookies to cool completely before drizzling with chocolate.
To prepare chocolate -- chop chocolate bar into small even-sized pieces and place in a small microwave-safe bowl.
Heat in 20-second increments, (stirring in between) until chocolate is smooth and completely melted.
Drizzle chocolate over each cooled Almond Joy cookie, then allow chocolate to harden before serving.
