Healthy Almond Joy Cookies

Healthy Almond Joy Cookies pack all of the flavors of an almond joy candy bar in a healthy, grain-free, and dairy-free cookie. These cookies are soft and chewy and the perfect combo of salty-sweet.

I love the flavor combo of almonds, coconut, chocolate, and a little sea salt

The ingredients in these Healthy Almond Joy Cookies are the perfect balance of sweet and salty. These cookies are grain free and dairy free if you use almond flour and dairy free chocolate chips to make them.

These cookies are crispy golden brown on the outside with a perfectly moist center in the middle (yes I said it!) They are finished off with a rich chocolate drizzle and extra coconut.

Let’s make some Healthy Almond Joy Cookies!

Step 1: Preheat oven and mix batter

First, preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then, in a large mixing bowl, combine room temp egg, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla and whisk together until thoroughly combined.

Next, inn a separate mixing bowl combine almond flour, shredded coconut, sliced almonds, salt, and baking soda. Then, fold dry ingredients into wet with a spatula. Once fully combined, fold 1/2 cup of chocolate chips into the batter.

Step 2: Form cookies and bake

Then, scoop a heaping tablespoon of batter onto the lined baking sheet for each cookie. I use an ice cream scoop for this step. Be sure to leave a small amount of space between each cookies. You might need to do more than one batch.

Next, bake in the oven at 350F for 18 minutes or until they start to get golden brown on the outside.

Step 3: Cool and top

Then, remove cookies from oven and allow to cool fully. Melt coconut oil and chocolate chips together for the topping. Finally, drizzle on top of each cookie and sprinkle with coconut while the chocolate is still warm. Enjoy immediately or store at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Step 4: Enjoy!

How should I store these soft bake cookies?

Once prepared, allow the cookies to cool completely and then store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. If you want to keep them for longer you can freeze the cookies for up to 3 months and defrost and enjoy one by one.
