Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt.
  2. If using, stir in the flour for a firmer consistency.
  3. Fold in any optional add-ins, such as chocolate chips or nuts, if desired.

Step 3: Form the Chewies

  1. Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, scoop the mixture into small mounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  2. Press gently to ensure they hold their shape.

Step 4: Bake

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  2. Remove from the oven and allow the chewies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 5: Optional Decoration

  1. If desired, drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled chewies for extra sweetness and flair.
  2. Let the chocolate set before serving.

Tips for Perfect Coconut Chewies

  1. Use Fresh Coconut: Fresh, sweetened shredded coconut gives the best flavor and texture.
  2. Monitor Baking Time: Keep an eye on them while baking to avoid over-browning.
  3. Customize Flavors: Add a splash of almond extract for a twist or sprinkle with sea salt for a sweet-salty combination.
