Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups unsweetened shredded coconut
• ½ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
• ½ cup chopped almonds (or slivered almonds)
• ⅔ cup fat-free or low-fat sweetened condensed milk
• ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven & Prep Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

2. Mix the Ingredients
In a medium bowl, stir together the coconut, chocolate chips, almonds, condensed milk, and vanilla until fully combined.

3. Scoop and Shape
Drop heaping tablespoon-sized scoops of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Gently press to shape into mounds.

4. Bake
Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still be soft but will firm up as they cool.

5. Cool and Enjoy
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
