Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t. Almond Joy’s got nuts, Mounds don’t.

Anyone remember that jingle?!

For this recipe I felt like a nut, because I love that salty almond flavor in my No Bake Almond Joy Cookies!

Almond Joy

If you are reading this in real time than you know it is being published not too long after Halloween. I was a little afraid to post this recipe because after trick or treating on Halloween all the kids were giving me their Almond Joys.

I thought, Great!

Am I the only one who likes Almond Joy’s? Well, if that is the case, I guess I will be the only one to read or use or eat this recipe!

Sweet Cookie

If you like a super sweet treat then you are going to love this recipe! They are made with 5 simple ingredients… mostly sweet.

  • butter
  • powder sugar
  • flaked sweetened coconut
  • almonds
  • chocolate

They are a great 3 bite cookie. You do not want to make them any bigger because they are so sweet. Three bites does the job!

Kid Friendly Cookie Recipe

If your kids like getting in the kitchen with you, this is a great recipe to make together.

It is easy to make and doesn’t require any special skills, just stirring, measuring, and pouring. All the things kids love to do.

How to Make No Bake Almond Joy Cookies

On the stove top or in the microwave melt the butter.

Add the coconut, powder sugar, and a pinch of salt to the butter and stir to combine.

Taking about 1 ½ teaspoons of coconut mixture at a time form small balls. Place on a parchment lined cookie sheet. You will end up with 12-15 cookies.

Take an almond, salted, unsalted, or raw (I like the salted almonds to add a little salty to all the sweet), and press one into the middle of each coconut ball.

Cover and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour, up to 2 days.

No bake Almond Joy Cookies drizzled with a lot of chocolate

Melt the chocolate chips and dip the bottom of each cookie into the chocolate. Place back on the parchment lined cookie sheet and refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes. You can also drizzle the extra chocolate over the top of the cookies.

Store in an air tight container in the fridge for up to a week.

    I’m waiting for these to cool. The tastes I’ve had are delish! I didn’t have evaporated milk so I replaced that and a cup of sugar with a can of sweetened condensed milk, used Andes chips, vanilla pudding and white chocolate chips. I’m sure they are going to be excessively sweet but still good!
