Ingredients
- 1 (14 oz) bag sweetened shredded coconut
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2/3 cup chopped lightly salted almonds
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut, chocolate chips, chopped almonds, and sweetened condensed milk.
- Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated and the mixture is well combined.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each cookie.
- Use your fingers to gently shape and compact each mound so the cookies hold together during baking.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges and tops are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve once cooled and enjoy.
Notes
- Use sweetened shredded coconut for the best texture and flavor.
- Lightly salted almonds provide a delicious contrast to the sweetness of the coconut and chocolate.
- Compact the cookie mixture firmly before baking to prevent the cookies from falling apart.
- Keep an eye on the cookies during the final minutes of baking because coconut can brown quickly.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
- For longer storage, freeze the cookies in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
- For a different flavor, substitute dark chocolate chips for semi-sweet chocolate chips.
