Description

These 5 Ingredient Magic Cookies are a quick and easy treat featuring shredded coconut, roasted cashews, chocolate chips, oats, and sweetened condensed milk. They come together effortlessly for a deliciously chewy and crunchy cookie that’s perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Cookies

  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 1/2 cups roasted cashews
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup quick cooking rolled oats
  • 1 can (14 ounce) sweetened condensed milk


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, roasted cashews, semi-sweet chocolate chips, quick cooking rolled oats, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly mixed and coated.
  3. Form Cookies: Using a spoon, scoop out mounds of dough approximately 3 tablespoons or a scant 1/4 cup each and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands to gently push any loose bits of dough back into the mounds, shaping them into cookie forms.
  4. Bake Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the cookies are set.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes to fully set. Enjoy these cookies warm or at room temperature for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute roasted cashews with other nuts like almonds or pecans if preferred.
  • For a nut-free version, consider using seeds such as pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
  • Use parchment paper to avoid sticking and promote even baking.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • For longer storage, freeze cookies in a sealed container for up to 3 months.
  • Adjust baking time slightly if making larger or smaller cookies to ensure even baking.
