ALMOND JOY COOKIE BALLS
List of Ingredients
These cookies taste a lot like the candy bar. They are one of my favorites!!!
2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
1 (14 ounce) can condensed milk
3 cups sweetened flaked coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
whole almonds
Recipe
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In the top half of a double boiler melt the chocolate and condensed milk, stirring frequently.
3. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the coconut. Stir in the vanilla and salt. Mix well until the coconut is completely coated. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet. Press one whole almond into the top of each cookie.
4. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Check at 8 minutes as the bottoms tend to burn easily. Remove from oven and cool.
