Almond Joy Cookies

Almond Joy Cookies 5 I usually only make cookies around Christmas time. With the exception of chocolate chip cookies that is. I can always eat a chocolate chip cookie. When I saw this recipe on Picky Palate I thought I’d give it a try though. I don’t know what made me want to make them. First, I’m not that big on red velvet and second I don’t like dark chocolate. But they looked pretty and they were super easy so I decided to go for it. Well, let’s just say that I made these cookies twice in 1 week. And then again a week later. I really loved them!

Also, it was some kind of miracle because Cliff liked them too. Cliff who doesn’t eat sweets actually liked them! Crazy!! So I decided to switch things up and use Cliff’s favorite candy bars, Almond Joy. I have never even eaten an Almond Joy before but Cliff likes them so I thought I’d give it a try. Instead of using red velvet cake mix I used chocolate and I threw in some extra coconut. I thought they turned out great. You know how many Cliff ate? Zero. None. You know how many I ate? Oh, like just about all of them. Men…
