Almond Joy Cookies
If you love Almond Joy’s, then you are going to love these cookies. Packed with shredded coconut, crunchy almonds and melty chocolate chips. These cookies are perfect for coconut lovers. We made these for Hillarie’s wedding and it came from Sweet Pea’s Kitchen.

- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt

Notes
I don’t think I found dry roasted almonds, so I just roasted them in a pan.
