Ingredients
Dry 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
Wet Ingredients
- 1 can (14 ounce) sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350° F (175° C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, roasted cashews, semi-sweet chocolate chips, quick cooking rolled oats, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated into a sticky dough.
- Form Dough Mounds: Using a tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop, scoop out approximately 3 tablespoons or a scant 1/4 cup of dough per cookie. Place each mound onto the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands to gather and press any loose bits of dough back onto the mounds to maintain shape.
- Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops of the cookies turn a light golden brown and edges are set.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes to fully set before transferring them to a wire rack or serving plate. Enjoy them warm for a gooey treat or at room temperature for a chewier texture.
Notes
- You can substitute the roasted cashews with other nuts like almonds or walnuts if preferred.
- For a nuttier flavor, lightly chop the cashews before mixing.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- If you prefer dairy-free, try using sweetened condensed coconut milk as a substitute, though texture may vary slightly.
- Be careful not to overbake, as the cookies can become too crispy; aim for golden on top but still chewy in the center.
