Ingredients
Scale
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped almonds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, shredded coconut, chopped almonds, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about two inches apart.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven. Immediately press a few extra chocolate chips onto the top of each warm cookie. The residual heat will melt them slightly.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For an extra candy bar touch, you can press one whole almond into the center of each cookie before baking.
If you prefer a fudgier texture, melt the chocolate chips separately and drizzle them over the cooled cookies instead of pressing them on top.
This recipe is great for holiday cookie trays because it requires no-fuss baking.
