Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Sweetened shredded coconut
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each one, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Stir in the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Add the sweetened shredded coconut to the chocolate mixture and stir until the coconut is fully coated.
Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them out slightly to prevent them from touching.
Refrigerate the cookies for at least 1 hour, or until they are firm and set.
Once the cookies have hardened, remove them from the baking sheet and transfer them to an airtight container for storage.
Serve immediately or enjoy within a week when stored in the refrigerator.
