Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded coconut (unsweetened or sweetened as preferred)
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly to ensure all the coconut is evenly coated with the condensed milk and the vanilla is well incorporated.
  2. Scoop Mixture: Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop cookie-sized portions of the coconut mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Space them evenly to prevent sticking.
  3. Chill to Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 to 2 hours, or until the cookies are firm and hold their shape. Once set, you can enjoy or store them in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

  • For a nuttier flavor and texture, toast the shredded coconut lightly in a dry skillet before mixing.
  • You can add mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the mixture for extra variety.
  • Store cookies in the refrigerator to keep their shape and freshness; they can last up to one week chilled.
  • If you want firmer cookies, you may freeze them for 20-30 minutes before serving.
  • Ensure to use sweetened condensed milk for proper sweetness and binding.
