Instructions
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | In the top of a double boiler, over simmering water, heat the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate together until the chocolate melts smoothly. Stir occasionally to combine the ingredients evenly. |
| 2 | Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the shredded coconut, pecan pieces, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated. |
| 3 | Using a level teaspoon, drop the mixture onto heavily greased or parchment-lined cookie sheets, spacing each cookie about 1½ inches apart to allow for slight spreading. |
| 4 | Place the cookie sheets in a preheated oven set at 300°F (150°C). Bake for 15 minutes or until the cookies are slightly firm to the touch and dry. Be mindful of the bottoms to prevent burning. |
| 5 | Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. |
These Chocolate-Coconut Cookies are not just easy to make, they’re also packed with a satisfying texture and the perfect balance of chocolate and coconut flavors. They’ll surely become a new favorite on your dessert table, especially for those cozy gatherings, or as a fun holiday treat. Enjoy!
Pro Tip: Feel free to experiment with different nuts or even add a few extra chocolate chips for a richer cookie.
