Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cups chopped pecans
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans.
Add the sweetened condensed milk to the mixture and stir until thoroughly combined. Set this aside as the 'treasure' filling.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it slightly in your hand. Place a teaspoon of the 'treasure' filling in the center, and then top it with another flattened tablespoon of cookie dough.
Seal the edges of the cookie dough around the filling, rolling it gently into a ball to ensure the filling is enclosed.
Place the cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are just set.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy the delicious hidden treasure inside each cookie!
