Almond Joy Delights
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup roasted salted whole almonds
- 1 1/2 cups flaked coconut
- 1/2 cup canned sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
- 1 package (16 ounce) Pillsbury Ready to Bake refrigerated sugar cookies
- cup unsweetened baking cocoa
- cup milk chocolate chips
Preparation
Let cookie dough stand at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften.
Reserve 20 almonds; set aside. Chop remaining almonds.
In a medium bowl, stir chopped almonds, coconut and condensed milk until well blended. Refrigerate mixture 25 minutes for easier handling.
Heat oven to 350F degrees.
In a large bowl, knead cookie dough and cocoa with hands until well blended. Keep covered with plastic wrap, shaping cookies one at a time.
For each cookie, press 1 rounded tablespoon of dough into a 3-inch round.
Place 1 tablespoon coconut mixture in the center of each round. Wrap dough around filling, pressing edges to seal; shape into ball.
On an ungreased cookie sheet, place balls 3 inches apart. With fingers, press each ball into 2-1/2-inch round. Press 1 whole almond on each cookie.
Bake for 9 to 12 minutes or until puffed and edges are set.
Immediately remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
In a small resealable freezer plastic bag, place chocolate chips; seal bag.
Microwave on high temperature for 30 to 60 seconds or until softened.
Gently squeeze the bag until chocolate is smooth; cut off a tiny corner of the bag.
Squeeze bag to drizzle chocolate over cookies.
Let stand until chocolate is set. Store in an airtight container.
