Almond Joy Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0.
In the microwave, in microwavable bowl combine condensed milk, chocolate and salt.
Cook on High for 5 minutes or until mixture thickens.
Stir after each minute.
Stir in vanilla and coconut.
Form cookies by dropping teaspoons of the mixture on a well-greased baking sheet, 1-inch apart.
Top each with a whole almond.
Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, watching the cookies carefully after 8 to 9 minutes, as the bottoms can get too brown.
Immediately remove the cookies from the pan with a metal spatula and cool on wax paper-covered rack.
Freeze well.
