Almond Joy Cookies




Source of Recipe


From Mabel Swanson given to Grandma Minnie






Recipe Introduction


This cookie is like the Almond Joy Candy Bar.





List of Ingredients



• 1 (14oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  
• 2 oz unsweetened chocolate
  
• 1/4 tsp salt
  
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  
• 3 cups shredded coconut
  
• 45 whole salted almonds
  






Instructions



1. Preheat the oven to 350.
   
2. In a double boiler combine the condensed milk, chocolate and salt.
   
3. Cook over rapidly boiling water, stirring often for 5 - 7 minutes, or until the mixture thickens.
   
4. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and coconut.
   
5. Form cookies by dropping teaspoons of the mixture on a well greased baking sheet - 1 inch apart.
   
6. Top each with a whole almond.
   
7. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, watching the cookies carefully after 8 or 9 minutes. The bottom can get too browned.
   
8. Immediately remove cookies from the pan with a metal spatula and cool on a wax paper covered rack.
