Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the cookies
  • 3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut Opt for high-quality shredded coconut; organic brands often have fresher flavors.
  • 1.5 cups chocolate chips Semi-sweet chocolate chips are recommended for balanced flavor.
  • 1 cup almonds, roughly chopped Choose raw or roasted almonds for crunch. Flavored almonds can also be used.
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk This ingredient adds sweetness and acts as the binder.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut, chocolate chips, and roughly chopped almonds. Stir these together until evenly mixed.
  3. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the dry mixture. Stir with a spatula until all dry ingredients are nicely coated.
  4. Use a large cookie scoop to drop mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 4 inches apart. Gently press down on each mound to flatten slightly.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  6. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months. Avoid overmixing after adding sweetened condensed milk to maintain texture.
