Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 3 cups shredded coconut
- 2/3 cup (160 ml) condensed milk
Sweet Enhancers:
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare a large plate or baking tray by covering it with parchment paper, creating a smooth surface for the coconut cookies to rest.
- Combine shredded coconut, condensed milk, and powdered sugar in a spacious mixing bowl, stirring thoroughly until the ingredients merge into a cohesive, slightly tacky mixture.
- Gently mold the sticky dough into compact, round spheres using clean hands or a dedicated cookie scoop, ensuring uniform size and shape.
- Place each coconut ball onto the parchment-lined tray, delicately flattening them into distinctive cookie profiles with light finger pressure.
- Transfer the tray to the refrigerator, allowing the no-bake treats to solidify and develop a firm texture, typically requiring 30-45 minutes of chilling time.
- Once the coconut cookies have set and become sturdy, remove from the refrigerator and serve immediately or store in an airtight container for future enjoyment.
Notes
- Check coconut freshness by ensuring it’s not clumpy or discolored for the best texture and flavor.
- Use a small cookie scoop for uniform size and professional-looking cookies that cook evenly.
- For dairy-free version, substitute condensed milk with coconut cream or vegan sweetened condensed milk alternative.
- Enhance flavor by adding a pinch of vanilla extract or rolling finished cookies in extra toasted coconut for a crunchy exterior.
