• 1/4 cup Stevia (or preferred sugar substitute)
• 2 large egg whites
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

  Almond Joy Cookies Directions:

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, cocoa powder, and Stevia. Mix well.
  • Add the egg whites and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir until the mixture forms a dough.
  • Gently fold in the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  • Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten each slightly with the back of a spoon.
  • Press one whole almond into the center of each cookie.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are set and lightly browned at the edges.
