Chocolate Chip Treasure Cookies
Chocolate Chip Treasure Cookies combine graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking powder, sweetened condensed milk, butter, coconut flakes, chocolate chips, and chopped walnuts to create a cookie with a chewy texture and rich, sweet flavor. Baked until lightly browned, these cookies offer a satisfying crunch from the nuts and a chewy, sweet coconut and chocolate interior.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 sweetened condensed milk Eagle Brand® 14 oz. can
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1 1/3 cups coconut flaked
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips 12 oz. package
- 1 cup walnuts chopped
Instructions
- HEAT oven to 375ºF. Combine graham cracker crumbs, flour and baking powder in small bowl.
- BEAT sweetened condensed milk and butter in large bowl until smooth.
- ADD crumb mixture; mix well. Stir in coconut, chocolate chips and walnuts. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
- BAKE 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool.
Notes
- Using sweetened condensed milk provides moisture and sweetness without adding extra sugar beyond the recipe’s measured amount.
- Chilling the dough briefly before baking can help maintain cookie shape if desired.
- Cookies should be baked until they are lightly browned but still soft in the center to retain chewiness.
