- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup vegetable shortening
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup light brown sugar firmly packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 and ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats uncooked
- 1 and ½ cup toasted corn cereal like Chex
- 4 oz almond bark
Directions:
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Beat 1 cup shortening with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add sugars, beating well. Add eggs and almond; beat well. In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; stir until blended. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture mixing until just blended.
- Slightly crush corn cereal, only to the point there aren't large pieces (but not too small, you'll lose the 'crunch') Carefully stir in oats and cereal.
- Using an ice cream scoop, drop dough on a cookie sheet 2" apart. Bake at 325 degrees 12 to 14 minutes. Cool for 2 minutes on cookie sheet before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Melt the almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl at 30-second intervals. Stir until smooth. Drizzle over cookies and allow it to harden and set.

These cookies are out-of-this-world delicious and a real crowd pleaser. I tried this bc I was tired of making the same cookies over and over. This does not disappoint. The cereal makes such a nice crisp crunch and flavor that people always ask what’s in these cookies that makes them taste so good! Thank you for sharing this incredible recipe!

I want to try this recipe, but I must be crazy. I cannot see what to do with the almond bark in the directions. Please help!
Paula says
It’s melted and drizzled over the top of the cookies. I updated the recipe card.
Sue says
Can I substitute butter for the shortening? Thanks!!!
Dee says
Can you tell me how many cookies the Almond Crunch Cookie makes?
Thank you.
Paula says
Hi Dee, I got 24 cookies. I used a scoop that was about 1.5 tablespoon to make them. This made a cookie that was about 2 inches in diameter.
