Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 14 oz sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1.75 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 0.75 cup almonds, roughly chopped
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional) Can use almond extract for a stronger flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, chocolate chips, and chopped almonds.
  3. Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and add the vanilla extract if desired. Stir until all ingredients are well mixed and coated.
  4. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop heaping spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets.
  5. Gently press each mound together to help the cookies maintain their shape.
  6. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the edges and tops are lightly golden.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to three months.
