Description

These 5 Ingredient Magic Cookies are a quick and easy treat that combines shredded coconut, roasted cashews, chocolate chips, rolled oats, and sweetened condensed milk into a chewy, golden-baked delight. Packed with texture and flavor, these cookies are perfect for a simple dessert or snack that comes together in just minutes.


Ingredients

Cookies Ingredients

  • 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 and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350° F (175° C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the cookies do not stick during baking.
  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 well until all ingredients are fully combined and form a sticky dough.
  3. Form Cookies: Using a tablespoon or a scant 1/4 cup measuring spoon, scoop mounds of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands to gently push any loose bits of dough back into the mounds, helping to shape each cookie evenly.
  4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops turn a golden color, signaling they are cooked through.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes to allow them to fully set. Enjoy these cookies warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For best results, use roasted cashews for a rich, nutty flavor.
  • To make the cookies gluten-free, ensure the rolled oats are certified gluten-free.
  • Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate chips based on preference.
  • Pressing the cookies slightly before baking can help shape them more uniformly.
