All the flavors of Almond Joy candy bars made into cookies! Soft and chewy cookies flavored with sweetened coconut, sliced almonds, and chocolate chips. This easy homemade recipe comes together in minutes (no chill time).
I had completely forgotten that Almond Joy candy bars existed until this past Halloween when I happily discovered several in my kids’ trick-or-treat candy stash. After one bite I was reminded how great the combination of coconut, almonds, and chocolate is.
I promptly got to work rolling those same flavors into a homemade cookie recipe. The flavor and texture of these cookies is incredible. Why didn’t I think of this sooner? Let’s make Almond Joy cookies!

What is Almond Joy?
Almond joy is an American candy bar made of sweetened shredded coconut topped with an almond and covered in milk chocolate.
By adding shredded coconut, sliced almonds, almond extract, and chocolate chips to cookie dough we can easily recreate this delicious flavor profile in cookie form. Note: we are not using Almond Joy candy bars in this recipe; we’re just creating cookies with the same flavors.
Recipe overview
The base of this recipe is my go-to cookie dough recipe. It’s the same base that I use for my M&M Cookies, Christmas Cookies, and White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies. It creates a soft and chewy cookie that bakes up perfectly with no chill time necessary.
- Combine dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt).
- Beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
- Add egg and extract.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, beating until combined.
- Add mix-ins: shredded coconut, sliced almonds, and chocolate chips.
- Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon portions and bake for 9-12 minutes.
