Ingredients
- 3 cups shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2/3 cup condensed milk
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace: Line a large plate or baking tray with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
- Mix ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of shredded coconut, 2/3 cup of condensed milk, and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar. Stir until the mixture forms a sticky dough.
- Shape the cookies: Use your hands or a cookie scoop to form small balls of dough. Flatten each ball slightly to create cookie shapes and place them on the prepared tray.
- Refrigerate: Place the tray in the refrigerator and chill the cookies for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set and firm up.
- Serve and store: Serve the cookies chilled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider mixing in a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of salt.
- You can toast the shredded coconut lightly before mixing for a nuttier taste.
- Make sure cookies are well chilled before serving to hold their shape better.
- If you prefer sweeter cookies, adjust the powdered sugar quantity to taste.
- Store cookies in the refrigerator to keep them firm and fresh.
