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 Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk, flaked coconut, and chopped almonds until they combine well.
Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming cookie mounds.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Watch them closely as they can brown fast.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
While the cookies are still warm, press a few extra chocolate chips onto the top of each cookie. The residual heat will melt them slightly.
Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack to set before serving.
Notes
For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
If you want a firmer cookie, chill the dough mixture for 30 minutes before scooping.
You can toast the coconut lightly before mixing for a deeper flavor profile.
