4 Ingredient Chocolate Magic Cookies
These chocolate magic cookies taste like magic bars but in an easier cookie form. They need just 4 ingredients and don't contain any flour, eggs or butter. The cookies are an easy one-bowl recipe and can be made ahead of time for gifting.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (8 fl oz/237 ml) sweetened full fat condensed milk
- 1 cup (160 g) semisweet chocolate chips, divided
- 3 cups (180 g) unsweetened coconut flakes, see note
- 1/2 cup (50 g) walnuts, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add condensed milk and 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to a large microwave-safe mixing bowl. Heat in the microwave at full power in 15-30 second increments, stirring in between with a spatula, until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
- Add in coconut flakes, walnuts and 1/4 cup chocolate chips. Stir until they are evenly mixed in to the chocolate. The batter should also become very thick.
- Use a 3 tbsp cookie scoop to scoop the cookie mixture. Release onto your prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining cookie dough, spacing each cookie at least 1.5 inches apart.
- Lightly wet your hands and then compact, flatten and shape the cookie mixture into round disks. The cookies do not spread much during baking so shape the cookies how you want the final outcome to be. Press a few more chocolate chips onto the surface of the cookies with the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips.
- Bake cookies for about 15 minutes or until done. When the cookies are done they should no longer look like wet batter. Let cookies cool fully on the baking sheet to allow them to set. Once cool, you should be able to easily peel them off the parchment paper. Store uneaten cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days. Keep cookies in fridge or freezer if you wish to store them longer.
Notes
- Coconut flakes note: Make sure to use unsweetened coconut flakes and not shredded coconut. You want the coconut flakes to be around 1/2 inch pieces. I used Bob's Red Mill unsweetened coconut flakes (Amazon | Target | Walmart)* which has flakes around 1/2 inch. If you use a brand of coconut flakes where the strands are long, pulse them in a food processor until they are about 1/2 inch pieces.
