As much as I love experimenting with cake mixes and puddings etc, sometimes you just need a good old fashioned from scratch cookie recipe 🙂

If you love Almond Joys as much as I do, these will be a huge sensation anywhere you serve them!

Or if you just decide to eat the whole lot yourself, I won’t judge lol

They freeze well too!

Soft, Chewy and perfect all around!

Its hard to choose a favorite candy bar, but if I had to pick one, it would be almond Joys!

The great thing about this recipe is if you want to leave out the almonds, you can.
