Equipment

Ingredients

14 oz Condensed milk (1 can sweetened CS )
2 ½ cup Desiccated coconut unsweetened
¼ cup Almond meal (or coconut flour)

Plus

½ tsp Salt
1 tsp Vanilla extract

Metric - US customary

Instructions

Preheat oven at 170 °C/ 340 °F / Gas Mark 3
Tip - make sure the oven is well preheated before you put the cookies in or they will spread too much.
In a mixing bowl add the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt.
Tip - condensed milk already has vanilla extract so you can omit it. Alternatively, you can also add ¼ tsp coconut extract.
Followed by the dedicated coconut and almond meal (or coconut flour) - Combine well.
Tip - at first the mixture will be wet but as the coconut absorbs moisture it will get drier so do not add more coconut or flour.
Using two spoons or a cookie scoop - drop small mounds on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Bake for about 15 to 18 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges. I like a slight color on my cookies but these can be baked fairly white.
Cool on the baking tray then on a wire rack.
Tip - The cookies may appear soft at first but they will dry and continue to cook on the hot baking tray.
Enjoy!
