Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and cover a couple baking sheets with parchment paper
  • In a small bowl, combine the condensed milk with the shredded coconut, and set aside.
  • In a larger mixing bowl, mix the butter with the sugars, vanilla, salt and the condensed milk-coconut combination. Then add the egg and blend to combine evenly. Stir in the coconut flour with the baking soda and baking powder. Fold in the chocolate and roasted almonds.
  • Use a 1-¼-inch ice-cream scoop (or your hands), to form balls of dough, adding them to a parchment covered baking sheet as you go. About 1 dozen per sheet is perfect, with ample space between them.
  • Each Almond Joy package contains 2 small bars. Cut each of the small bars into 6 pieces. Now gently press each slice on top of each ball of dough.
  • Bake in the preheated 350 degree F oven until they are just beginning to show golden brown area, 8 to 10 minutes. Let them sit on the baking sheet for a few minutes and then transfer them to a cooling rack.
