Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 15m

Yield 20 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 squares unsweetened baking chocolate, melted
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 cups coconut
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients and drop by heaping spoonful onto a lightly greased baking pan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees 10-12 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE! (I bake for 11 minute in my oven - they will look "set" but still a little glossy).

Tips:

  • Make sure to use unsweetened shredded coconut and coconut milk to keep the drops from being too sweet. Choose high-quality ingredients to enhance the overall flavor of the sweet bites.
  • Chill the mixture for at least 30 minutes before dropping it into the hot oil. This will help the drops hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use a small spoon or piping bag to drop the batter into the hot oil. This will help you control the size and shape of the drops.
  • Fry the drops in batches to prevent overcrowding the pan. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Once the drops are golden brown, remove them from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the drops warm or at room temperature. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a variety of toppings, such as chocolate sauce, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.

Conclusion:

Golden Coconut Drops are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside, with a sweet and coconutty flavor. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a batch of these delicious treats that are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
