Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine 200 grams of sweetened shredded coconut with 100 grams of condensed milk.
Stir the ingredients together until well mixed. Add in 1 medium egg and continue to mix until you achieve a consistent batter.
Step 2
Using your hands, take small amounts of the mixture and form them into balls or bite-sized cookies. Make sure they are uniform in size for even baking.
Place the shaped cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. They can be spaced closely together as they won’t spread much during baking.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
Once preheated, place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown on the edges.
Step 4
After baking, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
Once cooled, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious coconut cookies with friends and family!

Variations
If you're looking for **gluten-free** or **vegan** options, you're in luck! To make these delicious cookies gluten-free, simply ensure you are using certified gluten-free shredded coconut. For a vegan twist, replace any egg-related ingredients with a flaxseed egg or a chia seed mixture. Just mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed or chia seeds with 3 tablespoons of water, let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken, and incorporate it into your cookie mixture.
With these easy swaps, everyone can enjoy this delightful treat, no matter their dietary preference! 🌱🍪
Faq
- What type of coconut should I use for the cookies?
Shredded coconut is best, but you can also use desiccated if you prefer a finer texture.
- Can I store these cookies, and if so, how?
Yes! Store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll keep fresh for about a week!
- Is it possible to add flavors to these cookies?
Absolutely! Consider adding vanilla extract, almond extract, or even chocolate chips for a delightful twist.
- What consistency should the dough have before baking?
The dough should be slightly sticky but hold together. If it’s too dry, add a touch of water or a little more coconut.
- Can I double this recipe for a larger batch?
Yes, feel free to double or even triple the ingredients! Just ensure your baking sheet can accommodate them or bake in batches.
- How can I tell when the cookies are done?
They should be golden on the edges and slightly soft in the center. They’ll firm up as they cool!
