Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr
Prep: 30 min
Cook: 30 min
Yield: 20 to 24 cookies

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup pecan halves
  2. 1 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  3. 2 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  4. 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
  5. 1/2 cup chopped semisweet chocolate or chocolate morsels
  6. 7 ounces canned sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, or use a nonstick pan.
  2. Toss the pecans in the melted butter to evenly coat. Spread the nuts on an ungreased baking sheet and bake 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden and aromatic. Set aside to cool, and then chop roughly. Place the chopped pecans and the remaining ingredients in a bowl and mix with a wooden spoon until evenly moistened. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of batter for each cookie onto the lined baking sheet and gently flatten to circles of about 2 1/4-inches in diameter (these cookies do not spread). Bake 10 minutes or until the coconut turns very pale golden, being careful not to over brown. Transfer to racks to cool.

excellant recipe – recommend this to everyone – Gluten free, we add butterscotch morsels for extra flavor

I have made this recipie several times and people have loved it every time. The only correction I would make is that you use 14 oz. of condensend milk, as 7 oz does not hold the cookies together. You may also want to make them smaller than the recipie calls.
