Almond Joy Brownie Sandwich Cookies

Confession: I used to be candy bar junkie. I’m ashamed to admit that most of my girth comes from snack sized candy bars. Snack size, pfft… I used to hide in my basement and inhale candy bar after candy bar. I’d feel properly ashamed of myself.

Afterwards.

Not while it was going on. Not while I was hoovering 20 snack sized candy bars. It was awful, really. I should have sought a support group. Instead, with Kung Fu Grip will power I managed to kick the habit. Sorta. If you wave a bag of candy in my face it’s on. I avoid candy like the plague, because let’s be real – It’s a slippery slope.

Flow with me, we need to talk about these Almond Joy Brownie Sandwich Cookies. Well, for the most part I plan to bombard you with images. Because… Cookies!

OK – We can talk about them a little.

THESE Almond Joy Brownie Sandwich Cookies are a mashup of my favorite brownie cookie recipe and my favorite candy bar. Yes, I really dig Almond Joy candy bars. Who doesn’t? Sweetened coconut and almonds enrobed in chocolate? Yah. And now it’s a sandwich cookie!

Left slightly under baked, the cookie portion is the ultimate in fudgy goodness. On their own they are fantastic.

You should try a couple.

When you fill these with combination of sweetened flaked coconut, condensed milk, sweetened coconut cream, and slivered almonds – You elevate them to Nirvana status. It is truly one of the best cookies I’ve tasted in awhile. And I bake a lot of cookies. A.LOT.

So now you know. Go ahead and get bakin’. Then have a support group on standby.

Just in case.

By the way – I’m all up on social media! Stop by my outlets and say hello!! Facebook , Instagram, Pinterest,Twitter, and Yummly!

Ingredients

 

For the Brownie Cookies:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter cut into 1 inch pieces
• 2 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup flour spooned then leveled
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar packed
• 2 tablespoons Dutch processed cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup milk chocolate chips

For the Almond Joy Filling:

• 2 cups sweetened coconut flakes
• 14 ounce can condensed Milk
• 1 cup confectioner's sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
• 1 tablespoon Coco Lopez or coconut cream
• 1 cup Slivered almonds

Instructions

 

Make the filling:

• In a medium bowl, combine sweetened flaked coconut, condensed milk, confectioner's sugar, vanilla bean paste and Coco Lopez. Mix until the confectioner's sugar is completely dissolved and mixture is combined. Transfer filling to a container with a tight fitting lid and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Bake the cookies:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and place rack in the middle section of the oven. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a medium bowl combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
• Place a small pot of water on the stove over low heat. Bring it to a simmer. Over the pot of simmering water, place a stainless steel bowl. Add the chocolate chips and butter, stirring occasionally until completely melted, smooth, and looks like pudding. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Once the chocolate/butter mixture melts, combine eggs, sugars, and cocoa powder in a bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Mix on high until the mixture has doubled in volume and is very very thick, about 4-5 minutes.
• Reduce the speed to medium and add the melted chocolate mixture to the eggs/sugar mixture and mix until combined. Add in the vanilla extract.
• Reduce the speed to low and add flour mixture all at once. Mix until just combined. Fold in the milk chocolate chips.
• With a cookie scoop (or a teaspoon), drop spoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheets.
• Bake for 9-10 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through for even baking. Tops of cookies should appear crackled, but the interior will be soft and under-baked.

Assemble sandwich cookies:

• Remove filling from the refrigerator. Place half the cookies flat side up. Add about 2 teaspoons or so of the coconut filling, sprinkle with slivered almonds, and top with another cookie. Press the cookie down so the filling reaches the edges. What are you waiting for? Go all in on that situation.
• Makes about 25 sandwich cookies.
