Ingredients

Scale

1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes (sweetened works too)
1 cup sliced almonds (or pecans, walnuts, pistachios)
1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
¾ cup sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk!)

Optional Twists:

Add ½ tsp sea salt for sweet-salty contrast
Swap almonds for macadamia nuts & add ¼ cup dried pineapple for a tropical vibe
Stir in ¼ cup cocoa powder for double-chocolate decadence

Instructions

Preheat Air Fryer: Set to 350°F (175°C) and let it heat for 3 mins.
Mix: In a bowl, stir together coconut, almonds, and chocolate chips. Add condensed milk and mix until thick and sticky.
Shape: Scoop heaping tablespoons onto parchment-lined basket, flatten slightly, and press a few extra chips on top.
Air Fry: Cook 10–12 mins until golden brown and crisp at edges. Check at 9 mins since air fryers vary.
Cool: Let cookies rest in the basket for 5–10 mins — they’ll firm up as they cool. Transfer gently to a rack.

Notes

If cookies seem too wet, add extra coconut flakes.
For even cooking, avoid overcrowding the basket.
No air fryer? Bake at 350°F for 12–15 mins on parchment.
