Ingredients

The following ingredients have 14 Servings
  • 1 (14-ounce) bag sweetened flake coconut
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup almonds (chopped)
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (divided)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 24-30 whole almonds

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with Silpat mats or parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix together coconut, flour, salt, almonds and 1 cups of chocolate chips.
  • In a small bowl mix together vanilla extract, coconut extract, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir into coconut mixture.
  • Scoop out a golf ball size ball of dough and drop onto prepared cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Flatten cookie dough with your fingers (dip them in water or spray them with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking).
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges of the cookies are golden brown.
  • Place the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on 50% for 30 seconds, stir until completely melted. Spoon melted chocolate into a small ziplock. Cut off one corner and drizzle each cookie with chocolate. Top each cookie with one whole almond in the melted chocolate.
  • Allow the cookies to cool completely and set. Store in an airtight container.
