MY FAVORITE ALMOND JOY COOKIES - LIGHTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 and prepare cookie sheets with parchment paper.
• Toast almond and coconut (not together) and chop almonds once cooled. To toast almonds, I bake at 350 for 10 minutes until fragrant. To toast coconut, I use a small skillet on medium heat and shake until coconut is golden brown (removed quickly as unsweetened coconut goes from done to burnt very fast).
• Combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• Using stand mixer, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
• Continuing to run mixer on medium, add egg, egg whites and vanilla, one at a time and mix until combined.
• With your mixer turned to low, add dry ingredients until flour is incorporated.
• Stir in mini-chocolate chips, toasted coconut and toasted chopped almonds.
• Drop with a cookie scoop (1.5T) onto cookie sheet.
• Bake 10-12 minutes until golden brown on edges.
• Cool for 1 minute before removing to wire rack to cool completely.

CALIFORNIAS ALMOND JOY COOKIE BALLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper that has been lightly greased.
• In the microwave, melt the chocolate with the sweetened condensed milk, stirring after every minute of cook time. Microwave cook times vary; you know your oven better than I do, so no specific cook times; just until melted and smooth.
• Pour the chocolate mixture over the coconut in a large bowl. Stir in the vanilla. Mix well until the coconut is completely coated.
• Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet. Top each cookie with an almond, pressing down slightly.
• Bake at 350 degrees for ten to twelve minutes. Check at about 8 minutes though as the bottoms tend to burn easily. Double panning is a good idea if they still seem doughy but bottoms are done.
• Let cool on pan for one minute, then transfer to cooling rack and cool completely.
