Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 3.25 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk one can
  • 1.25 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup roasted almonds, chopped
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 tsp almond extract
  • 0.25 tsp fine salt

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 325°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Whisk condensed milk with vanilla, almond extract, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Fold in coconut, chopped almonds, and chocolate chips until evenly coated.
  • Scoop heaping tablespoon mounds onto sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  • Lightly flatten the tops and tidy edges with damp fingers for even baking.
  • Bake 12–15 minutes, until the edges turn golden and centers look set.
  • Cool on the sheet 5 minutes, then transfer cookies to a rack to cool completely.

Notes

Variation: Press a whole almond on each mound before baking, or drizzle cooled cookies with melted chocolate and a pinch of flaky salt. Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days, or freeze up to 2 months.
