Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 bag (14 oz) sweetened coconut flakes
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup chopped lightly salted almonds
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 325℉ (163℃). Line a rimmed cookie sheet or baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sweetened coconut flakes, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and chopped lightly salted almonds until well combined, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract over the dry coconut mixture. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is sticky and holds together well, creating the cookie dough base.
- Scoop the dough: Using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop, portion out mounds of the cookie mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow for slight spreading during baking.
- Bake the cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies turn golden brown. Watch closely towards the end to avoid over-browning the coconut flakes.
- Cool the cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the warm baking sheet for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely before serving.
- Serve and enjoy: Once fully cooled, serve the cookies and enjoy the delightful combination of texture and flavor in every bite.
Notes
- Use parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Keep an eye on the cookies during the last few minutes of baking, as the coconut can brown quickly.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For a nut-free version, omit the almonds and increase coconut flakes slightly.
- If you prefer a less sweet cookie, consider using semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips.
