Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until well combined.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the mixture and fold it in gently. The dough should come together and hold its shape when scooped.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion the mixture into small mounds onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Gently press down the tops of the mounds with the back of a spoon to slightly flatten them, ensuring even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, melt semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave in 15-second increments, stirring after each interval, until smooth. Add the vegetable oil if the chocolate needs thinning for drizzling.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled coconut cookies and let the chocolate set before serving.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Enjoy these chewy, sweet morsels as a treat!
