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.
-
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.
Notes
-
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.
