Inside out almond joy macaroons are a delightful twist on the classic macaroon cookie! This irresistible dessert combines the flavors of coconut, almond, and chocolate in a single bite. The macaroons are made with a combination of almond flour, sugar, and egg whites, which are whipped until stiff peaks form. Then, shredded coconut and chocolate chips are folded into the mixture. Once the mixture is smooth and creamy, it is scooped onto a baking sheet and baked until the macaroons are golden brown and crispy on the outside, yet soft and chewy on the inside. The result is a macaroon that is not only delicious, but also visually appealing with its contrasting colors and textures.
Here are our top 4 tried and tested recipes!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease with cooking spray.
- In a bowl stir together coconut flakes, sugar, vanilla, almond extract, and salt. Add egg whites and mix well. (If you don't have almond extract you can double the vanilla but they will taste less almond-y)
- Drop tablespoon-sized mounds onto prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart. (You can also use a cookie scoop for this!) Bake 10-15 minutes until golden on the edges. Allow to cool about 10 minutes.
- Drizzle with melted chocolate and sprinkle with shaved almonds. Chill macarons for about 10 minutes. You can use kitchen scissors to trim the edges if desired. Store in airtight container.

I got this from the Cuisine at Home Holiday Cookbook. These are delicious! A moist coconut dough is wrapped around an almond hershey kiss. The cookie is chewy on the outside with a chocolate almond surprise inside. It's almost a cross between a cookie and a candy. Mmmmmm.
