Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the ingredients: In a bowl, combine shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is evenly combined and sticky.
Shape the cookies: Using a spoon or your hands, shape the mixture into small mounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the cookies: Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Remove and let them cool completely on the pan.
Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Dip and set: Dip the bottoms of each cooled cookie into the melted chocolate, then place them on parchment paper to set. Optionally, sprinkle extra shredded coconut on top before the chocolate hardens.
