The reason we gave these cookies a 4 star rating is that the amount of chocolate called for in the recipe is far too overpowering. We scaled it back to 3 cups and it seemed to allow the almond and coconut flavors to blend in as well. We subsituted 3 cups unlbeached flour + 1.5 cups whole wheat flour and used sliced almonds. Once we got the chocolate ratio right these cookies were fabulous! Quick, easy, and freeze well. A great quick addition to your recipe box.

The cookies came out a little dry for my taste (even when I underbaked them). I tried adding a little oil to the recipe to compensate and it helped a bit. Also I think 5 cups is far too much chocolate, I could hardly stir 4 cups in! The recipe was okay but not nearly as good as I'd hoped from reading other reviews.

This recipe is wonderful! I baked the cookies at 350 degrees for 7 1/2 minutes instead of 375 for 8 minutes. They stayed soft and moist. By far, they are one of the best cookies I've ever made.

These were good. I made them as a dessert to a potluck! I added 1 tablespoon peanut butter for an extra little kick. I will make again!

I made these for the opening of our new Church. These are the BEST cookies I've ever made! They are expensive but well worth it. I used a melon baller to drop them by and got beautiful, same size cookies. Got about 8 dozen. They freeze very well. I made cookies for about 6 weeks and these were just like they had just come out of the oven.

Wow- who cares if they aren't exactly like an Almond Joy candy bar, they're fabulous!?! BTW, how big WERE the cookies you made? I halved the recipe and made 42 very good sized cookies- also had to cook them for 10-13 minutes instead of the 8-10. Bravo, I think I'm going to have to lock them up so my husband won't eat them all!

Absolutely the best tasting and looking cookies I've ever made! They were so perfect that I even took a picture of them! I always recommend using parchment paper when baking cookies, it really made these turn out perfect! You will certainly enjoy! This recipe makes TONS of cookies!

I thought they were good (although a bit expensive which made these 4 stars, not 5 for me), but I took them to a picnic and they got RAVE reviews! It was the only dessert to be completely eaten by the end of the picnic. I used 4 cups choc. chips and I think that was plenty. Otherwise I didn't change a thing. I got about 5-1/2 dozen from the batch. A keeper.

These were pretty good cookies, stayed chewy till the last one. Got a few complaints about them being a too sweet, I thought they were just right.

These are excellent cookies! Chewy, crispy, and sweet without being cloying. I was out of almonds and added toffee bits, with no ill effect. This will be our standard chipper recipe from now on.

This does not taste like an Almond Joy as the name suggests. However, they were still very good. Actually they went very quickly! It is a different twist on the chocolate chip cookie. Will make again.

Everyone that has tried my cookies (this recipe) wanted the recipe. Wonderful cookies. I made them a little bigger than requested and cooked them a little longer. I have placed this recipe in my Favorite Recipe's Journal.

The cookies were good, but they did not taste like an Almond Joy candy bar. Regardless of what I expected, the children ate them without question.
