Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 (14-ounce) bag of sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 (12-ounce) bag of chocolate chips
- 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk
- 2/3 cup chopped almonds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
- Mix ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and chopped almonds. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Portion the dough: Using a cookie scoop, firmly pack the dough into the scoop and place each mound onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Space each cookie about 1 inch apart to allow room for baking.
- Bake the cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies turn golden brown, indicating they are perfectly cooked.
- Cool the cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Do not overbake as the cookies can dry out; watch for golden edges as your indicator.
- For added flavor, lightly toast the almonds before chopping.
- You can substitute semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips based on preference.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
