These cookies are a creation of Eagle Brand Condensed Milk. They are very easy to throw together and don’t even have eggs!
AND… they are packed with coconut, milk chocolate chips and chopped nuts, which I suppose is the TREASURE. I have to say that it tracks…
I like to use cinnamon graham crackers...but if you can find graham cracker crumbs at the store, well that’s a win.
Also…SALT! Sprinkling a little salt on top of the cookies takes them next level.
These cookies are ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!
Mix the graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl and set aside.
Use beaters to whip together the sweetened condensed milk and the softened butter until nice and smooth.
Add in the dry ingredients and mix together.
Add in the coconut, chocolate chips and chopped nuts and mix well.
Scoop out a heaping tablespoon for each cookie. Roll into balls and place on baking sheets.
Bake until the top of the cookies look dry. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Remove to cooling rack.
ENJOY!
