Ingredients
- ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
- 14 ounces sweetened flaked coconut
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

- Mix in condensed milk, vanilla extract. Feel free to add a splash of almond extract too if you want! Keep stirring until well combined.
- Using a cookie scoop, place in mounds of the coconut mixture on the prepared baking sheets. They won't spread, so you don't need to leave more than an inch between the cookies.
- For large (3 Tablespoon) cookies, bake in preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the tips are golden. For smaller (1½ tablespoons) cookies, bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden.
