My top tips:

LINE YOUR PANS: Do not skip the step of lining your pans with parchment paper or silicone baking mats! The sweetened condensed milk in this recipe is very sticky and these cookies will stick to your baking sheets if they are not lined beforehand!
COCONUT: Make sure you’re using shredded coconut and NOT coconut flakes here! Coconut flakes are too chunky and will not hold the cookie shape. If sweetened coconut is too sweet for you, feel free to use unsweetened instead. I like to use sweetened because it tends to stick together well.
ALMONDS: I like using sliced almonds because of their convenience and thin and crunchy bite, but you can use slivered almonds or even whole almonds and chop them up into smaller pieces too. Go crazy and switch them up for walnuts or pecans if you want!
CHOCOLATE CHIPS: Mini chocolate chips are my favorite here because they’re small enough to work their way into every bite of these cookies! Regular chocolate chips can be used instead, but I recommend bumping up the measurement to 2 cups.
MIXING: You’ll want to make sure the sweetened condensed milk is incorporated very well with the coconut, almonds, and chocolate chips. If there are pockets of unmixed sweetened condensed milk, it will ooze out of the cookies while they bake.
SCOOPING: Since this is not a dough that you can roll using your hands, using a triggered cookie scoop is my favorite way to portion out these cookies. Not only does it ensure that each cookie the same size, but it also keeps the cookies perfectly rounded.
COOLING: It’s important to let these cookies cool completely on the baking sheets before trying to move them. The condensed milk needs to cool down in order to hold the cookies together without them crumbing apart! Once they’re cooled, they solidify and become much chewier!
STORING: Transfer any leftover cookies into an airtight container,and store in a cool, dry place at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the fridge for up to 1 week!
