Air Fryer Almond Joy Cookies
Deliciously chewy cookies packed with chocolate, coconut, and almonds, inspired by the classic candy bar.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut for a chewy texture
- 0.5 cup almond flour for a nutty flavor
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour to bind the cookies
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar for sweetness
- 0.5 cup brown sugar for moisture and flavor
- 1 large egg to bind the ingredients
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for flavor
- 0.5 cup chocolate chips for a chocolatey bite
- 0.5 cup whole almonds for topping and crunch
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda to help cookies rise
- 0.25 teaspoon salt to enhance flavor
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, almond flour, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and whole almonds into the cookie dough.
- Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and place them in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each cookie.
- Air fry the cookies for 10 minutes, then check for doneness; they should be golden brown. If needed, air fry for an additional 2-5 minutes.
- Once done, remove the cookies from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For a softer cookie, slightly underbake them.
