Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 1/2 cups salted mini pretzel twists, crushed
- 1 cup quick cooking rolled oats
- 1 cup chopped peaches
Wet Ingredients
- 1 can (14 ounce) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/3 cup peach jam
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure your cookies don’t stick and bake evenly.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, crushed salted pretzel twists, chopped peaches, rolled oats, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated into a dough-like mixture.
- Form Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough into mounds of about 3 tablespoons each (a scant 1/4 cup) on the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands to gently push any loose or crumbly bits back into the dough mounds to ensure they hold together.
- Add Peach Jam: Spoon approximately one teaspoon of peach jam onto the top of each cookie mound. If you like, lightly press a pretzel twist onto the top for added crunch and decoration.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and set.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes to fully set. Enjoy warm or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh peaches with frozen peaches; just thaw and drain excess moisture before using.
- The sweetened condensed milk acts as a binder and sweetener; do not substitute with evaporated milk.
- For an extra flavor boost, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dough mixture.
- Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
- If desired, press additional pretzels on top before baking for extra crunch and presentation.
