Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups sweetened flaked coconut
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped or sliced almonds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until combined.
- Stir in the flaked coconut, chocolate chips, and chopped almonds until everything is evenly coated in the milk mixture.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about two inches apart. You should get about 18 to 20 cookies.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Watch them closely to prevent burning.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a fudgier cookie, you can melt half of the chocolate chips and drizzle them over the cooled cookies.
- Use whole almonds for a crunchier texture, or sliced almonds for a milder bite.
- If you want a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
