Instructions
You’ll start by preheating your oven to 375°F. Line 2-3 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Mix the dry ingredients first. In a medium bowl, whisk graham cracker crumbs, flour, and baking powder.
Next, beat the wet ingredients. In a large bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk and softened butter until smooth.
Add the dry mix to the wet ingredients and stir well. Then fold in coconut, chocolate chips, and nuts.
Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie. Place them on the sheets, 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each cookie a bit.
Bake for 8-10 minutes. The edges should be light golden brown. Don’t worry if the centers look a bit underdone.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then move them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Your treasure cookies are ready to enjoy! The mix of textures and flavors will make these a new favorite.

Possible Substitutes List
You can get creative with these yummy cookies by swapping out some ingredients. Here are some tasty options to try:
Instead of chocolate chips:
• Butterscotch chips
• White chocolate chips
• Caramel bits
• Peanut butter chips
• Chopped candy bars
For the nuts:
• Almonds
• Cashews
• Macadamia nuts
• Pistachios
• Sunflower seeds (for nut allergies)
Other swaps:
• Use oats instead of graham crackers
• Try shredded unsweetened coconut
• Swap half the butter for mashed banana
Play around with mix-ins like dried fruit, candy pieces, or mini marshmallows. You can even add a dash of cinnamon or vanilla for extra flavor. The options are endless – have fun trying new combos!
Remember to keep the total amount of add-ins about the same as the original recipe. This helps make sure your cookies turn out just right. Happy baking!
How To Make It Diabetes-Friendly
To make these cookies more diabetes-friendly, you can try a few simple swaps. Replace the all-purpose flour with almond flour or coconut flour. These options have fewer carbs and won’t spike blood sugar as much.
Instead of sweetened condensed milk, use unsweetened almond milk mixed with a sugar substitute like erythritol or monk fruit sweetener. This cuts down on sugar while keeping the moisture.
For the graham cracker crumbs, look for low-carb versions or make your own using almond flour and cinnamon. Swap out the sweetened coconut for unsweetened to further reduce sugar.
Choose sugar-free chocolate chips or dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa. These have less sugar and more antioxidants. You can keep the nuts as they are – they’re a good source of healthy fats and protein.
When baking, watch the cookies closely. They may cook faster with these ingredient changes. Start checking at 6-7 minutes to avoid burning.
Remember to enjoy in moderation. Even with these swaps, cookies are still a treat. Pair with a protein source like Greek yogurt to help balance blood sugar.
Tips, Tricks & Storing
For the best chocolate chip treasure cookies, toast your nuts before adding them to the dough. This brings out their flavor and adds a nice crunch. You can do this by spreading them on a baking sheet and popping them in the oven for 5-10 minutes at 350°F.
Don’t overmix the dough once you add the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined to keep your cookies tender. For even-sized cookies, use a cookie scoop or tablespoon measure.
Let the cookies cool completely before storing. Place them in an airtight container with wax paper between layers. They’ll stay fresh at room temperature for up to 4 days.
To freeze, wrap cooled cookies individually in plastic wrap, then place in a freezer bag. They’ll keep for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature when you’re ready to enjoy them.
For gift-giving, package cookies in cute tins or boxes lined with parchment paper. Add a ribbon for a special touch. Your friends and family will love these homemade treats!
