Paleo "Almond Joy" Cookies
When I was younger I actually couldn't stand the taste of coconut or almonds. For whatever reason, I don't know, but now I love them. When my husband asked me to make a cookie that tasted like an Almond Joy, these cookies are what happened!
They have the most amazing crunch with a soft center. The chocolate, almonds & coconut are absolutely delicious together. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!
