INSTRUCTIONS
This cookie won the Grand prize in a contest in the Seattle Times in 2004. Thanks, Jozy for sending this recipe to me. The ingredients are very unusual and if you like coconut you will love this chocolate chip cookie. They are easy to make and tasty too. Hope that you enjoy.
1 1/2 c ground graham cracker crumbs
1/2 c AP flour
2 t baking powder
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk)
1/2 c (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
2 c flaked coconut
1 pkg (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips
1 c chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, flour and baking powder. In a mixer bowl, beat the condensed milk and butter till smoooth. Add the graham cracker mixture and mix well. Stir in the coconut, chocolate chips and walnuts; mixture should appear to be lumpy and dry. Shape dough into 1 1/2 inch balls and place onto ungreased cookie sheets, allowing room to spread. (I used a medium cookie scoop on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and baked my cookies for 12-13 minutes) Bake 9-10 minutes or till lightly browned. Transfer to racks to cool. Makes about 3 1/2 dozen
