No-Bake Coconut Cookies
These chewy and sweet no-bake coconut cookies are made with shredded coconut, powdered sugar, and sweetened condensed milk, perfect for a quick and easy dessert.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened) Sweetened gives a softer, sweeter cookie; unsweetened keeps sugar level lower.
- ½ cup powdered sugar Helps bind and smooth the texture. Sift if lumpy.
- ⅔ cup sweetened condensed milk The glue and main source of sweetness.
Instructions
Preparation
- Line a baking sheet or large plate with parchment or wax paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, mix the shredded coconut and powdered sugar. Add sweetened condensed milk and stir until the mixture becomes a sticky, glossy dough.
- Use a cookie scoop or your hands to shape small balls (about 1 to 1¼ tablespoons each) and place them on the prepared surface, flattening each slightly.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Serving
- Serve chilled straight from the fridge for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
Store finished cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. For best texture when serving at room temperature, let sit out for 15–20 minutes.
