So no flour, no eggs, no butter…what the heck is in these cookies you ask? Chocolate chips, coconut, almonds, and sweetened condensed milk – that’s it! I scoop the cookies right onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet and off they go for about 12 to 14 minutes. When the bottoms starts to look golden brown and you seem some of the coconut with brown tips – it’s time to come out!

Notes

Parchment paper is critical for these cookies to turn out right. Silicone mats, waxed paper, etc. will yield a slightly different result.

    I’m asked for these cookies all the time! They are a favorite with everyone who’s tried them. One note: My oven runs hot, so I put a baking sheet on the bottom rack about 1/2 way through so I don’t have to worry about them burning on the bottom. Works great!

    Just a heads up on your recipe I have been using for years. Condensed coconut milk is now being sold in 11.6 oz cans( all brands I think). I was clueless why my last batch were not right. It never occurred to me to check. 😩

      I would imagine that would be easy to do. I’d try a 9 inch square pan to start!

    These were easy to make & taste great – we have one tree nut allergy here so without almonds – just as good !!

      You can but it won’t be as sweet.

    These cookies are amazing and ALWAYS such a crowd pleaser! No matter where I take them, at least one person always asks me for the recipe! I always add extra chopped almonds to mine (and could totally eat it by the spoonful before even baking it but I hold back!) Such a great, super easy recipe. Thank you!!!
