Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 package (14 ounces) sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup white baking chips
  • 1/4 cup ground almonds
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup chopped fresh or frozen cranberries

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, shredded coconut, white baking chips, ground almonds, and almond extract until well blended.
  2. Add Cranberries: Gently fold in the chopped fresh or frozen cranberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the mixture.
  3. Form Cookies: Drop the mixture by tablespoonfuls about 3 inches apart onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, shaping each mound gently with your spoon or fingers to form cookie shapes.
  4. Bake Cookies: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges turn lightly browned and the cookies are set.
  5. Cool Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 3 minutes. Then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen cranberries depending on availability; if using frozen, no need to thaw before adding to the dough.
  • For an extra crunch, toast ground almonds lightly before mixing into the dough.
  • If you prefer a less sweet cookie, substitute white baking chips with dark chocolate chips.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Ensure cookies have cooled completely before storing to maintain texture and flavor.
