Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped almonds (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, shredded coconut, and chocolate chips. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
- Fold in the chopped almonds.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Press a few extra chopped almonds lightly 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.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a richer chocolate flavor, you can melt half of the chocolate chips and drizzle them over the cooled cookies.
- If you prefer a softer cookie, slightly underbake them by one minute.
- You can substitute milk chocolate chips for semi-sweet if you like a sweeter treat.
