Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookies bake evenly.
- Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour (or protein powder), cocoa powder, and salt. Whisk them together until well blended.
- Step 3: Add the shredded unsweetened coconut to your dry ingredients, mixing well to ensure an even distribution.
- Step 4: In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, maple syrup (or honey/agave), and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Step 5: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is well incorporated, creating a thick batter.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
