Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 1 piece Large egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cups Shredded sweetened coconut
• 0.25 cups Sweetened condensed milk
• 0.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

In a separate small bowl, combine the shredded sweetened coconut and sweetened condensed milk. Stir until the mixture is thick but malleable.

Step 7

Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough and flatten it into a disk in your hand. Place about 1 teaspoon of the coconut mixture in the center of the dough.

Step 8

Carefully fold the edges of the dough around the coconut filling, sealing it completely and rolling it into a smooth ball. Place the ball onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 9

Arrange the cookie balls about 2 inches apart on the baking sheets, as they will spread slightly during baking.

Step 10

Optional: Gently press a few semi-sweet chocolate chips into the tops of the cookie dough balls for a decorative touch.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the cookies are set around the edges but still soft in the center. Be careful not to overbake.

Step 12

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
