When you dunk a cup like that, you end up really packing the flour in there. Packed flour is too much flour \u2014 creating overly dense cookies!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Baking Soda:<\/strong> Double check the label and make sure it&#8217;s not expired. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> It needs to be softened, so don&#8217;t forget to leave it on the counter for at least one hour prior to using. If you forgot, shred it quickly with a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/42FrZfm\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">box cheese grater<\/a> and it will soften in minutes!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chocolate Chips:<\/strong> Semi-sweet are my favorite to use! They really help to create that Almond Joy flavor. Dark chocolate chips or a dark chocolate bar cut into chunks also work great.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sweetened Shredded Coconut: <\/strong>You can use unsweetened coconut if you&#8217;d like. Just note that you&#8217;ll lose a little of the classic Almond Joy element.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Extracts: <\/strong>Vanilla extract and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4jLf3uv\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">coconut extract<\/a> help to deepen the flavor of the cookie dough base. You can skip the coconut extract, but I don&#8217;t recommend skipping the vanilla extract. If you love the taste of almonds, you can also add a 1\/2 teaspoon of almond extract for an extra boost.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"These Almond Joy Cookies deliver a perfectly chewy, chocolatey, and nutty bite!
