Coconut Cookies

OK I love coconut, and I was watching an international cooking show on Cooking Channel and was intrigued by a story on how the host used to eat fruit desert and this was one of her favorites. Only her recipe was to be a bar with lots of additives, I wanted to make it simple. So after 2 attempts to this recipe Frank and I finally decided to make it a cookie; the bars just didn't work. So here we go these cookies are REALLY GOOD:

Ingredients:

1 (14 0z) bag of shaved coconut (about 4 cups)

1 medium size can of Sweetened Condensed Milk

1 TBSP mini Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl combine coconut and the entire can of condensed milk. Using your hands mix the coconut and milk together making sure all the coconut is covered. Place 1/2 tsp of chips in and mix. Using parchment place your cookies on a baking dish about 1 inch apart. Measure the size of your cookies by using a TBSP. Each cookie should be the size of one TBSP you may have to use your hands to fix them. Before you place your cookies in the oven place some chips on top where you feel they need some decorating. Bake for about 15 minutes or till the tops are slightly brown.

Quick Tips

The bottom of your cookies should be brown and they should be soft in the center. Let cool for about 20 minutes and then place on a dish and store in the fridge. They should get you about 16-20 cookies.
