Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut For added texture, use 2 cups shredded coconut + 1 cup coconut flakes.
  • 1.5 cups chocolate chips Semisweet or dark.
  • 1 cup almonds, roughly chopped Toast for extra aroma if desired.
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14-ounce can or use 11.25-ounce can of sweetened condensed coconut milk for dairy-free option.

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, chocolate chips, and chopped almonds.
  • Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the dry ingredients. Stir with a sturdy spoon until everything is evenly coated and the mixture clings together.
  • Use a large cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons) to drop mounds of the mixture onto the baking sheet, spaced about 4 inches apart.
  • Wet the palm of your hand and gently press each mound to flatten it into a cookie shape about 1/2-inch thick.
  • Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Rotate the sheet halfway through if your oven bakes unevenly.
  • Remove from the oven and let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For crispier edges, bake an extra 1–2 minutes. Serve warm with milk or coffee, and store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Refrigerate for longer freshness.
