Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 cups unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

  3. Gradually sift in the flour while mixing on low speed until a slightly crumbly dough forms.
