In a large saucepan or high sided sauté pan add the butter, sugar, milk and cocoa powder.
Melt together and bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute then remove from heat.
Add in the Nutella, vanilla and coconut extract and whisk until smooth and creamy.
Mix in the oats and coconut and stir until fully covered and coated.
Place a piece of parchment paper on a flat surface and, using a cookie scoop or ice cream scoop, scoop about 2 heaping tablespoons into mounds on your parchment paper, press one whole almond on each cookie and let it set for about 30-40 minutes.

Notes
Quick cooking oats need to be used in this recipe as they are smaller, do not use old fashioned oats.
We use Nutella in this because we want more of that almond and coconut flavor coming through.
We love topping with whole almonds to really give these that Almond Joy effect, but that is completely optional.
These cookies need at least 30 minutes to set up before consuming.
They can be frozen, see my tips above on how to do that.
Our trick for the perfect sized cookie is using an ice cream scoop filled about 3/4 full.
