Ingredients
2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup slivered almonds
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine sweetened shredded coconut, condensed milk, vanilla extract, chocolate chips, and almonds. Stir until well mixed.
3. Use a tablespoon or small scoop to portion out dough. Flatten each slightly on the baking sheet.
4. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until edges are golden.
5. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
To keep the cookies moist, don’t overbake—look for just-golden edges.
Let the cookies cool completely before storing to prevent them from becoming soggy.
