These are not your ordinary cookies. Brownies meet an Almond Joy, and they are turned into the most decadent chocolate coconut cookies. They might look complicated, but I promise they’re so easy!

I’ve made these so many times, and I have yet to meet someone who did not want to grab one or two of these as soon as they come into sight. A definite crowd-pleaser, for sure! They go perfect with a mug of hot chocolate or homemade latte.

You Will Love This Recipe!

• This is an easy cookie recipe that is made with a brownie mix! Using the mix gives the cookies a rich, fudgy texture.
• They taste just like an Almond Joy candy bar but in cookie form. If you love chocolate, coconut, and almonds, you will love them!
• They are perfect for parties, potlucks, cookie platters, or whenever you want to satisfy a chocolate craving.

Ingredient Notes

The main ingredient is prepared brownie mix. Look for a mix that is packaged in an 18.3-ounce box.

You don’t need to follow the package instructions – to create a cookie texture, you’ll add a different amount of eggs, water, and oil than what is probably listed on the package. So, disregard those instructions.

The dough also has sweetened coconut flakes, almonds, and white chocolate chips. You’ll use those same ingredients to decorate the cookies once they’re baked, too.

Make and Bake the Cookies

Make the Dough: Mix the brownie mix, egg, water, and oil in a large bowl. Fold in the coconut flakes, almonds, and white chocolate chips.

Bake the Cookies: Use a large cookie scoop to drop mounds of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake them for 10 to 12 minutes at 350°F. Cool them on the baking sheet for five minutes and then transfer them to a baking rack to cool completely.

Add the Decorations!

• Melt the chocolate chips and white chocolate chips in two separate bowls in the microwave. Transfer both to their own Ziplock bag and snip off one of the bottom corners.
• Pipe each kind of chocolate onto the cookies. Sprinkle the tops with coconut flakes and top with almonds and chocolate chips.
• Let them set for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Storage

Store your cookies in an airtight container, and they will keep for several days at room temperature… if they last that long!

I know you’re going to love these Almond Joy cookies! Rich, chocolatey with wonderful almond and coconut flavors. They’re definitely a treat!

• ▢ 3/4 c. almonds divided
• ▢ 3/4 c. white chocolate chips divided
• ▢ 1/2 c. milk or dark chocolate

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, mix together brownie mix, egg, water and oil until combined. Fold in coconut flakes, 1/2 cup almonds, and 1/4 cup white chocolate chips.
• Using a large cookie scoop, drop “cookie dough” onto the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are set. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
