Chocolate Chip Treasure Cookies

These next couple of weeks I'm predicting you'll see quite a few sweets posted here.  I'll admit, it's not only because I'm making them for holiday parties or gift baskets, but partially because when winter hits my sweet tooth enhances.  🙂

The other day I was thinking about how I haven't been using a couple of my cookbooks that I've had for a few years.  At the same time, I was craving some chocolate cookies.  So, I dusted off one of the books, opened it up to the cookies section and baked the first chocolate recipe I found where I had everything on hand.  I should've known that this recipe would be a bust just by looking at the list of ingredients.  They were like eating chalk!  Fail.

The cookbook I chose to use that day is a compilation of recipes from members of a certain church.  I usually really like this kind of collection as they are tried and true dishes that you probably have enjoyed many times at a church potluck or gathering.  Keeping this in mind, I decided to continue on to the next cookie recipe in this book (again, where I had all ingredients on hand).

Enter these Chocolate Chip Treasure Cookies.  Oh my!  I'm so glad the previous chocolate cookies were a fail so it forced me to try these instead!  It was interesting to me that it included graham cracker crumbs, but I think it is the "treasure" part of these cookies.  The combination of coconut and chocolate chips with the sweetness from the condensed milk and graham crackers had me at "hello."  Again, I omitted the walnuts (can you tell I'm not a big walnut fan?) but will still include it in the recipe below.

      Hi Mrs. C.
      I freeze almost all of my cookies after baking and then let thaw on the counter for about 30 minutes to an hour. 🙂

    I noticed that you don't use an egg in this recipe, is that correct?

    Made these tonight and what a treasure! I was a professional baker in a past life and always up for a new recipe. I doubled the recipe with no adverse effects (*unless you call gaining 2 lbs. after "testing" them out!).

    Yummy! These cookies look great! I am with you, I crave sweets and desserts during the winter a whole lot more than I do in the warmer months. Maybe it is because we are stuck in the house because it is so cold. At least that will be my excuse! 🙂

    YUM! I've used sweetened condensed milk in cookie bars but never in actual cookies. I can't wait to try!

    Ooh, I'll definitely be trying these out. My husband is a big CCC fan, and I've been in love with the Neiman Marcus version (espresso powder-yum!), but these sound strange and different and wonderful. Would you recommend using sweetened or unsweetened coconut flakes?

      I use sweetened coconut flakes. 🙂
