I love to make cookies. In fact, cookies were the first thing I learned how to bake. I remember clearly the first cookies I made. They were the same no bake cookies that I wrote about almost two years ago.
My cookie baking skills have grown quite a bit over the years, and cookies long ago became my favorite thing to bake.
Because cookies are my favorite thing to bake, I am always looking for new recipes. I recently came across a recipe that I knew I had to try.
Not only did this recipe look and sound really good, it caught my attention because it had no flour in it. I loved the fact that this was a normal recipe that was naturally gluten free.
I did end up adapting this recipe a little, because you know me, I can’t leave a recipe alone.
I have now made these several times, and my whole family loves them. Even my son and daughter that do not usually like coconut liked them.
These make a fudgy and very good cookie.
Fudgy Coconut Cookies
These fudgy coconut cookies are an easy homemade gluten-free cookie.
Ingredients
- 5 1/3 cups sweetened coconut
- 1 can (14 ounce) sweetened condensed milk ( I have used the regular and low fat and both work)
- 2/3 cup cocoa
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients and mix well.
- Drop by rounded tablespoons onto cookie sheets.
- Bake at 350 for 9-11 minutes. I like them to be a little fudgy, so I bake for 9 minutes. If you want them more firm, bake for a little longer.

I absolutely did not need to see these after I already went to grocery store. Looks like I’ll be back there tomorrow for extra ingredients. These look delicious!
These look scrumptious! I love chocolate and coconut! 😀
THanks for sharing!
Have a great day!

I love coconut…and I have a friend who must eat gluten free so I can never share baked goods with her..now I can! 🙂
I don’t eat sweetened condensed milk, but these sure do look tasty! Any chance these have a macaroon-like texture or taste?
@Katherine, They are a little macaroon like, but these are fudgy and moist unlike some macaroons. Same basic idea though.
These look so good, and easy, my favorite things in any recipe!
