All of the flavors of your favorite almond joy candy bar in a warm, gooey brownie like cookie.
In a large bowl, combine 2 large eggs with 1/3 cup of vegetable oil, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, 3/4 cup of melted butter and 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar and use an electric hand mixer to beat until creamy
Sift 1 3/4 cups of all purpose flour, 3/4 cup of unsweetened Dutch cocoa, 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt into the bowl and mix until just combined
Add 3/4 cup of chopped chocolate, 3/4 cup of chopped almonds and 1 cup of sweetened coconut flakes and fold in until evenly distributed
Use a large greased cookie dough scoop to form balls of dough and place them onto a parchment lined plate
Chill the dough for either 30 minutes in the freezer or 60 minutes in the refrigerator
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
Place the balls of dough 2-3 inches apart on a parchment paper lined baking sheet
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until they are gently set, but still a little soft in the middle (do not over bake)
Transfer the baking sheet onto a cooling rack and let the cookies cool for about 5 minutes before transferring them directly onto the cooling rack
