Ingredients

Cookie Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 1/2 cups roasted cashews
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup quick cooking rolled oats
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350° F (175° C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the shredded coconut, roasted cashews, semi-sweet chocolate chips, rolled oats, and sweetened condensed milk until all components are well incorporated and form a sticky dough.
  3. Form Cookie Mounds: Scoop out approximately 3 tablespoons (or a scant 1/4 cup) of the dough and place mounds onto the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands to gently push any loose bits back into the mounds to keep the cookies intact.
  4. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the tops turn a light golden brown, indicating they are set and cooked through.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on it for 5 minutes to fully set. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature for a chewy, satisfying treat.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
  • Press loose dough firmly into mounds to avoid spreading too much during baking.
  • Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for longer freshness.
  • For a nut-free version, replace cashews with additional oats or seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
  • Chocolate chips can be substituted with chunks or a different type of chocolate depending on preference.
