Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1-2 baking sheet
- 1-2 parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup finely shredded coconut
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup or honey
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- 100 g dark chocolate 70% cocoa or more
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine rolled oats (1 cup), shredded coconut (1 cup), and sea salt (¼ tsp). Stir to mix evenly.
- Add wet ingredients: To the dry mixture, add melted coconut oil (¼ cup), maple syrup or honey (¼ cup), and vanilla extract (1 tsp). Mix until the dough holds together. If the dough is too dry add a bit of maple syrup or honey.
- Shape the cookies: Take about 1 tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it into a ball. Flatten each ball with your palm to form small discs, and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown around the edges. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Melt the chocolate: While the cookies are cooling, melt the dark chocolate (100g) in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
- Coat the cookies: Once the cookies have cooled, dip the top of each cookie into the melted dark chocolate or drizzle the chocolate over them using a spoon.
- Let the chocolate set: Place the cookies back on the parchment paper and allow the chocolate to harden. If you're in a hurry, you can place the cookies in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to speed up the process.
- Finishing Touches: Allow the cookies to fully cool and set before serving. For an extra treat, sprinkle a tiny bit of coconutflakes on top of the chocolate coating.
- Enjoy your homemade crispy coconut cookies with dark chocolate!
