Almond Joy Cookies image

A friend of mine makesa cookie like this every Christmas and I had to beg for the recipe, she wouldn't share. I decided to give it a go and make my version. These taste just like an Almond Joy candy bar. It's definitely become a favorite. This recipe makes a huge batch of cookies. Depending on the size you make them. You can freeze the dough and have handy when unexpected company or events pop up. This recipe is easy to cut in half. I love the taste of the coconut and have added more to the half batch.

BUTTERY ALMOND COOKIES



Buttery Almond Cookies image

Made with high-fat, cultured butter, these melt-in-your-mouth almond cookies are like the most tender shortbread you've ever eaten. A simple confectioners' sugar icing and a sliced almond topping make them especially pretty, but you can skip the garnish for something sleeker and simpler. Or use them to make sandwich cookies, filling them with the likes of lemon curd, raspberry jam or melted chocolate.

Time 1h

Yield About 4 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups/190 grams all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling the dough
1/3 cup/38 grams almond flour
1/4 cup/30 grams cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup/227 grams salted cultured butter, at room temperature (see Tip)
2/3 cup/130 grams granulated sugar
1 large egg yolk
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup/56 grams salted cultured butter, melted
1 to 2 tablespoons buttermilk or whole milk, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
Toasted sliced almonds, for topping

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir together flours, cornstarch, baking powder and salt.
  • In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter and granulated sugar until lightened in color and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in egg yolk and almond extract until combined, about 20 seconds. With the mixer running on low, add flour mixture, beating until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  • Divide dough into two balls. On a floured surface, roll each ball into a 1 1/2-inch-thick log. (If the dough is too soft to work with, chill it for 20 to 30 minutes before forming it into logs.) Wrap logs tightly in parchment paper or plastic wrap, and refrigerate until very firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • When you are ready to bake the cookies, heat oven to 325 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
  • Use large, sharp knife to cut each log into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Place cookies 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake until cookie edges and bottoms are golden brown, about 15 to 22 minutes. Cool 5 minutes on baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Make the icing: In a large bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar, melted butter, 1 tablespoon buttermilk, vanilla and almond extracts. If the icing isn't thin enough to drizzle, add more buttermilk. It should be a little thicker than heavy cream.
  • Using a fork, drizzle icing all over the cooled cookies, then top with almond slices if you like. Let the icing set for at least 1 hour, then store at room temperature in an airtight container. The cookies will keep for at least 3 days.

Tips:

  • Make sure the almond joy candy bars are frozen before chopping them. This will make them easier to cut and prevent them from melting into the cookie dough.
  • Don't overmix the cookie dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them to keep their shape.

Conclusion:

These buttery almond joy cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, whether you are looking for a quick snack or a special dessert. With their combination of chocolate, coconut, and almonds, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give these cookies a try!
