There are lots of different ways to make cocadas, or coconut cookies. This is really easy. All you need is a 14 oz. bag of shredded coconut, a 14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk and a lime.
Pour the shredded coconut in a large mixing bowl. Add the zest of a lime.
Use the juice from the whole lime.
I used the whole 14 oz can of condensed milk. It creates a thick mixture, but isn't dry.
Mix the ingredients. Use an ice cream scoop or two spoons to create mounds of the coconut mixture so that they are all the same size.
Place the mounds on a pan lined with parchment paper. Using a 1.75 inch scoop, I created 21 cocadas.
Bake at 350 degrees F. for 15 - 18 minutes. Watch them so that they don't get too brown. The bottoms will caramelize and the cookie will be soft and chewy. Let them cool completely before eating.
I turned one over so you could see how it will caramelize, yummy!
Hope you enjoy baking these!
