Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (12 ounce) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 cups sweetened flaked coconut
- 1 cup chopped almonds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, stir, and repeat in 30-second intervals until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Stir the flaked coconut and chopped almonds into the melted chocolate mixture until everything is evenly coated.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
- You can toast the almonds lightly before adding them to the mixture for a deeper nutty taste.
- If you prefer a firmer cookie, chill the dough mixture for 30 minutes before scooping.
