Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 ½ cups Graham cracker crumbs 13 rectangle crackers
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 (14-ounce) (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup salted butter room temperature
  • 1 ⅓ cups sweetened, shredded coconut (113 g) or 3/4 cup (75 g) old-fashioned oats
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup walnuts or other nuts chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (see note above).
  2. In a small bowl, add the graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk to combine.
  3. In a large bowl with a handheld electric mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or by hand with a spoon), beat the sweetened condensed milk and butter until smooth and creamy, 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add the dry ingredients; mix until mostly combined. It's ok if a few dry streaks remain.
  5. Stir in the chocolate chips, coconut, and nuts (if using).
  6. Drop the cookie dough by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheets.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
  8. Let the cookie rest on the baking sheet for 1-2 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Notes

  • Oven Temp: if you find your cookies are spreading while baking, try using a convection oven set to 325 degrees (if you have one) OR bake at 375 degrees instead of 350 degrees (see Instagram experiment here). 
  • Oats: the original recipe only ever called for coconut, but over the years, I've found oats to be an acceptable substitute for coconut-haters (the horror!). The cookies aren't quite as soft and chewy as the oats absorb more liquid than coconut, but they are still terribly delicious. I've found old-fashioned rolled oats work best as compared to quick oats.
