Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped almonds, plus extra for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and the flaked coconut. Mix well until the coconut is fully coated.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and the chopped almonds.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about two inches apart.
- Press a few extra chopped almonds onto the top of each cookie mound.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Watch them closely as they can brown fast.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a richer chocolate flavor, you can use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
- If you want a chewier texture, press the dough balls down slightly before baking.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
