Ingredients

  • 5 cups sweetened shredded coconut about 1 bag
  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • ½ cup chopped almonds
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Set the tray aside for now.
  • In a large bowl, mix the shredded coconut, chocolate chips, chopped almonds, and salt together.
  • Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla.
  • Scoop the dough into 2 tablespoon-sized balls and place on a cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
  • Wet your finger tips with water and gently press down on each cookie (the water will prevent the cookies from sticking to your fingers). You want the cookies to be about ½ inch thick and flat, not domed.
  • Bake the cookies for 12 minutes. The edges will be just turning golden brown but the center will still be soft.
  • Let the cookies cool on the tray for about 5 minutes then enjoy!
