Perfect for coconut lovers and those with a sweet tooth, these cookies bake into a golden, chewy treat with a slightly crisp edge, just like your favorite Almond Joy candy bar!
1 14 oz bag sweetened coconut flakes
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
2/3 cup chopped lightly salted almonds
1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine coconut, chocolate chips, almonds, and sweetened condensed milk.
Stir until well combined.
Use a cookie scoop to place spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Moisten your fingers with water and gently shape the dough into flat discs.
Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the coconut tips turn golden brown.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet before transferring to an airtight container.
For a variation, try using chopped pecans or walnuts instead of almonds.
Unsweetened coconut flakes can be used but will result in less sweetness. Adjust the sweetened condensed milk accordingly.
These cookies freeze well for up to 3 months. Simply microwave for 10-15 seconds to restore the gooey texture.
