These Almond Joy Cookie Bars combine the flavors of coconut, almonds, and chocolate to create a chewy and satisfying dessert. They're ideal for parties, potlucks, or whenever you want something sweet and decadent.
Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 1 cup packed brown sugar. 2 large eggs. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 teaspoon baking soda. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut. 1 cup chopped almonds. 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips. 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips. 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk.
Instructions: Start by heating the oven to 350F 175C. A 9x13-inch baking pan should be greased. Melt the butter and mix it with the white sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. One at a time, add the eggs and beat well after each one. Add the vanilla extract and mix well. Mix the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt together in a different bowl. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix them together until they are just combined. Spread out half of the cookie dough in the baking pan that has been prepared. Put the sweetened shredded coconut, chopped almonds, and semisweet chocolate chips in a medium-sized bowl and mix them together. Put this mix on top of the cookie dough in the pan. Add the sweetened condensed milk on top of the layer of chocolate chips and coconut. Crush the rest of the cookie dough and sprinkle it on top of the layer of sweetened condensed milk. Put it in an oven that is already hot and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Let the cookie bars cool all the way in the pan before you cut them into squares and serve them.
