Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 14 oz sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1¾ –2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup chopped almonds
  • 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • Optional: extra almonds or chocolate for topping
  • Optional: pinch of salt if almonds are unsalted

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C) and line baking sheets with parchment.
  2. Combine coconut, chocolate chips, chopped almonds, and sweetened condensed milk in a large bowl.
  3. Stir until fully combined and sticky.
  4. Scoop tablespoon-sized mounds onto prepared sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  5. Moisten fingers with water and gently shape into rounds or discs.
  6. Bake 12–15 minutes until edges are golden and tops toasty.
  7. Cool 5 minutes on sheet, transfer to wire rack, optionally top with extra almonds or drizzle chocolate.

Notes

Do not skip parchment—cookies stick.
Avoid overbaking; edges should be just golden.
Use sweetened coconut for flavor.
Shape mounds for prettier cookies.
Store in an airtight container up to a week; freeze for longer storage.
