My friend Becki brought these delicious morsels to my annual tea party, and they are so easy, and no mixer is involved.
My paternal grandmother gifted me this Bavaria plate.
My dear friend, Mary gifted me this gorgeous Adelaide Blue by 222 Fifth teapot and I just love it! It's like a beautiful work of art and I'm captivated by the design. Thank you so much, Mary! We are going to have some Almond Sugar Cookie black tea, also from Mary.
Would you like your tea in this Petit Rose teacup....
.....or in this Duchess teacup?
My beautiful Shania Twain rose is gracing my table, along with the Goebel Blessed Mother that my beloved Dad bought me when I was a new mother. My Dad loved picking out his own gifts, and truly they are such treasures to me.
Yield: 3 dozen
Almond Joy Cookies
If you need an easy treat, these cookies take only 4 ingredients, and no mixer is required.
Ingredients
- 1-14 ounce sweetened coconut flakes
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2/3 cup roughly chopped lightly salted almonds
- 1-14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. (See NOTE)
- In a large bowl combine coconut, chocolate chips, almonds and sweetened condensed milk, and stir until combined.
- Scoop the dough out with a cookie scoop onto prepared baking sheet.
- Moisten your fingertips with water and shape the cookies into mounds and pat the tops lightly to smooth.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes or until tips of coconut are just starting to turn golden brown.
- Let cool on baking sheet.
- Store cookies in an airtight container.
Notes
Parchment paper is critical for these cookies to turn out right.
Becki uses Blue Diamond Low Sodium Lightly Salted Almonds in the light blue bag.
Becki also uses half semi-sweet and half milk chocolate chips in the recipe.
Thank you for your visit! xo
I'm sharing with these parties:
Good morning Kitty, I’d love to join you for tea in your garden! I love the blue and white details from your sweet Goebel Blessed Mother, Bavaria plate and table runner. I’m so glad you’re enjoying your teapot…I’ll have my tea in the Petit Rose teacup. ☕ Your almond joy cookies sound so good and easy too, I love a no-mixer recipe. I love your pretty Shania Twain rose too. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead. 🩷
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Kitty. I would love to join you for tea in your beautiful setting. I would like to have my Almond Sugar Cookie black tea in the Petit Rose teacup. The Bavaria plate and the Adelaide Blue teapot are both lovely. The gift from your Dad of the Goebel Blessed Mother to honor you becoming a mother is exquisite and the perfect memory. The Almond Joy cookies look delicious. I need to make these with my granddaughters. It is always a treat to visit your teatimes. Happy May 🥰
ReplyDeleteWhat a great cookie recipe, I love Almond Joy! Beautiful setting for this coming Mother's Day, Kitty. I hope your family treats you like a queen!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Kitty. I would love to meet you for tea. What a beautiful time that would be. The almond joy cookies sound delicious. The gift from your dad is beautiful. Have a beautiful new week. Hugs. Kris
ReplyDeleteHello Kitty,
ReplyDeleteOh I love the Blessed Mother. I am just learning how the month of May is dedicated to Mary. I am learning the Rosary. :-)
I love each one of your blog posts.
Today I love the accents of blue, my favorite color.

Duchess Teacup please along with the almond joy cookies and almond sugar cookie black tea. Your Father's gift of the Goebel Blessed Mother to honor you becoming a mother is so special. Perhaps I could sit close to the lovely Shania Twain rose so I could lean over and inhale the beautiful fragrance between cookie nibbles. (another recipe for The File) The Bavarian serving plate is lovely. Have a great and glorious day my friend.🥰🧚🏻💕👒🌷
ReplyDeleteOh that Blessed Mother statuette is just so precious. What a very special gift, Kitty! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat Goebel Blessed Mother from your Dad is truly a treasure, and so is the Bavaria plate from your grandmother.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have my tea in the Duchess teacup. Oh, and I may need two cookies. They look delicious. I will be making these very soon! Thank you!
Happy Mother’s Day! I hope your family spoils you.
Your beautiful blue-themed tea setting is the perfect way to celebrate the Month of Mary! I also love how both the cookies and tea are almond flavoured!
ReplyDeleteOh do those cookies sound heavenly! Your statue your father gave you as a new mother is just so sweet, Kitty. How perfect to get it out and share it just before Mother's Day. Hope yours is fabulous. You so deserve that.
ReplyDeleteThe table is decorated so pretty and the cookies look so yummy. Thanks for the recipe Kitty.
ReplyDeleteI would choose the Petit Rose teacup, Kitty, and would very much enjoy one of your Almond Joy cookies. Alas, my husband does not like coconut, so I would not make them (or else I'd eat them all which would not be good). Have a good day!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to make these Almond Joy cookies, Kitty. I've always loved Almond Joy candy bars and now I can make them with the dark chocolate that I prefer. Your teapot and teacups are lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great cookie recipe, I love Almond Joy! Thanks for the recipe and Happy Mother's Day to you.
ReplyDeleteWonderful teacups and stunning teapot! Happy Mother's Day!
