I had wanted to play around with a coconut and almond flavored recipe for a while, since I still had a lot of toasted coconut saved up from the
Coconut Chick Cupcakes I made last April (don't worry, it was stored in an airtight container!). And they really do taste like Almond Joy candy bars!
Basically all I did was take the Coconut Macaroons recipe from
The Cookie & Biscuit Bible and change up a few minor things, like using toasted coconut instead of unsweetened coconut flakes, and substituting almond extract for vanilla.
Oh, and adding the chocolate, of course.
