Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp flour of choice or protein powder
  • 1.5 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 cup shredded coconut (must be unsweetened, full fat)
  • 0.5 cup milk of choice
  • 0.25 cup pure maple syrup or honey or agave
  • 0.25 tsp pure vanilla extract

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Spoon or cookie scoop
  • Oven

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookies bake evenly.
  2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour (or protein powder), cocoa powder, and salt. Whisk them together until well blended.
  3. Step 3: Add the shredded unsweetened coconut to your dry ingredients, mixing well to ensure an even distribution.
  4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, maple syrup (or honey/agave), and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Step 5: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is well incorporated, creating a thick batter.
  6. Step 6: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave enough space between each scoop, as they will spread slightly during baking.
  7. Step 7: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are firm. The centers may look slightly underbaked—this is perfect as they will continue to set while cooling.
  8. Step 8: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious Chocolate Coconut Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
