Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, mix shredded coconut, all-purpose flour, and granulated sugar. Stir well to ensure there are no lumps.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until fully combined. The mixture should be sticky but not runny.
- Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the tops are lightly caramelized.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the coconut chews cool for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Notes
[‘Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes if it feels too sticky or spreads too much during baking.’, ‘Use fresh shredded coconut for a more intense flavor.’, ‘Double the batch as these chews disappear quickly.’]
