Ah! You’re asking about Biscoito de Coco com Leite, a classic Brazilian coconut cookie that’s soft, chewy, and milky 🥥🥛. Here’s a simple recipe you can try:
Biscoito de Coco com Leite (Coconut Milk Cookies)
Ingredients (12–15 cookies)
- 1 cup grated coconut (fresh or unsweetened desiccated)
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tbsp milk (optional, for softer texture)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven
- Heat oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix ingredients
- In a bowl, combine grated coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
- Add a little milk if mixture is too thick—it should be sticky but moldable.
- Shape cookies
- Use a spoon or your hands to form small balls or oval shapes.
- Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between cookies.
- Bake
- Bake 12–15 minutes, until lightly golden on top.
- The cookies will be soft at first—don’t overbake.
- Cool & serve
- Let cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
- Optional: dust with powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
Tips & Variations
- Chewy: Use fresh coconut instead of dried for a moister texture.
- Chocolate drizzle: Drizzle melted chocolate on top after baking.
- Nutty: Fold in chopped cashews or almonds.
If you want, I can give you a microwave 5-minute version, which is very popular in Brazil for quick coconut treats.
