Years ago, I had my first chocolate chip macaroon while we were on Kauai. I fell in love with the combination of sweet coconut and chocolate chips immediately. Recently, I received this recipe for Almond Joy Macaroons from KC, one of my advance readers. I’d never thought about adding almonds to our chocolate chip macaroon recipe, but what a great idea!

Almond Joy Macaroons

What could be better than almonds, coconut, and chocolate chips in a cookie?

  • 1 tsp vanilla

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees

  2. In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine all ingredients together and mix until all liquid is incorporated.

  3. Drop by spoonfuls on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and flatten slightly.

About Terry

I started out as a skip tracer. Just in case you don’t know, that’s the guy who finds the people who don’t want to be found. It was the little things—getting paid to lie—that made skip tracing the fun part of the job.

Those years of chasing deadbeats taught me many valuable life lessons, such as liars come from all walks of life, and always keep your car in the garage.
