Cocadas from Bolivia | Coconut Cookies with Macadamia Nuts

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

In a bowl, mix together 3.5 cups of shredded sweetened coconut, 3/4 cup of sweetened condensed milk, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla.

Chop 2/3 cup of macadamia nuts using a nut chopper and add them to the mixture.

Mix all ingredients together using a wooden spoon or spatula until well combined.

Form the mixture into balls and place them on a cookie sheet.

Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes, checking after 22 minutes to ensure the bottoms don't burn.
