A delicious cookie inspired by Almond Joy candy bars using only 4 ingredients. Super easy to make in one bowl, nothing fancy needed, and you seriously can't eat just one.

Materials

14 oz. bag sweetened coconut flakes
14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups milk chocolate chips (or semi-sweet, dark, etc.)
2/3 cup lightly salted almonds, either chopped or sliced

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325° and line your cookie sheets with parchment paper. (Once baked, you can re-use the parchment paper again for another batch.)
In a large bowl, mix all 4 ingredients together. Make sure everything is well combined and evenly coated.
Drop a heaping teaspoon-sized portion of cookie dough onto the parchment paper. Cookies can be placed close together as they do not spread.
Lightly moisten the tips of your fingers to mold the cookies into shape. Gently pat the tops and/or sides if they appear loose. Shape into small mounds, or press down on tops to shape into coins.
Bake for 12 - 14 minutes, or until tops are turning a golden brown. Tips of coconut may appear darker.
Let cool on baking sheet (this helps them to not fall apart). Store in a sealed container. Enjoy!

Notes

I used sliced almonds, (lightly salted and roasted), from the produce section, or where they sell the salad toppings. Don't buy the almonds from the baking isle, they're not salted at all. Boring!
