How to cook deliciously - Almond Joy Cookies

1. Stage

In the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, on medium-high speed, beat butter and granulated sugar until combined and creamy, about 1 minute. Add egg yolks and almond extract and continue to beat until incorporated, about 1 minute.

2. Stage

In a medium bowl, whisk flour and salt. Add to butter mixture and beat on low speed just until evenly combined.

3. Stage

Scoop out dough using a 1-ounce scoop (#40) and roll (dough will be sticky) into rounds, then roll in almonds to coat. Using your thumb, create a thumbprint in the center of each round.

4. Stage

Arrange rounds on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and freeze until frozen, at least 20 minutes.

5. Stage

Make Ahead: Dough can be made 2 weeks ahead. Transfer to an airtight container and keep frozen.

6. Stage

Preheat oven to 350°. In a medium bowl, combine coconut, milk, egg white, and salt.

7. Stage

Fill each thumb imprint with coconut mixture. Place an almond in the center of coconut filling. Arrange 1" to 2" apart on a parchment-lined sheet tray.

8. Stage

Bake until cookies are lightly golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool 30 minutes, then drizzle with melted chocolate.
