Cookies Ingredients
- 3 cups shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2/3 cup condensed milk
Instructions
- Prepare the tray: Line a large plate or baking tray with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking and to make removal easier.
- Mix ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded coconut, condensed milk, and powdered sugar. Stir until a sticky and uniform dough forms.
- Shape cookies: Using your hands or a cookie scoop, form small balls of dough and then flatten them slightly to create cookie shapes. Arrange them evenly spaced on the prepared tray.
- Chill the cookies: Place the tray in the refrigerator and let the cookies chill for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Serve and store: Serve the cookies chilled for the best texture. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
Notes
- You can add a few drops of vanilla extract for extra flavor if desired.
- For variety, mix in some chopped nuts or chocolate chips into the dough.
- Make sure the condensed milk is well incorporated to help the dough bind properly.
- These cookies are best enjoyed within 3-4 days when stored refrigerated.
- Use unsweetened shredded coconut for a less sweet version and adjust powdered sugar accordingly.
