There are really only two things I love more than chocolate.
Can you guess these two things?
Mint Chocolate and Coconut Chocolate.
Okay, so really those are both still chocolate.
Okay, so really there is nothing I love more than chocolate.
Sorry not sorry.
Peppermint Chocolate Coconut Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp flour of choice
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, full-fat
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp milk of choice or canned coconut milk
- 3 tbsp agave or pure maple syrup
- pinch stevia OR 1 additional tbsp maple syrup and cut milk back by 1 tbsp
- 1/4 tsp pure peppermint extract
- just over 1/16 tsp salt
- melted chocolate chips or healthy chocolate sauce, for dipping
Instructions
Combine all ingredients except chips in a tall dish or pyrex. If using a microwave, heat two minutes. Stir, then microwave one more minute OR longer, until firm enough to scoop out into ball shapes. (Alternatively, you can cook on the stovetop until it’s firm enough to scoop out into balls.) Scoop balls onto a greased cookie tray: I used a mini cookie scoop /melon baller, but a spoon or ice-cream scoop also work. Bake at 360 F for 14-16 minutes. So they do not fall apart, be sure to let the cookies cool at least 10 minutes before removing from tray. Line a plate with wax paper and dip each cooled cookie in melted chocolate. Place the cookies on the wax paper, and refrigerate or freeze to set the chocolate. Makes 12-22 cookies, depending on the size cookie scoop used.

These peppermint chocolate coconut cookies sound delicious, Katie 🙂 And they are absolutely adorable too!!
Yum! Nothing beats chocolate, I quite agree. These cookies look fantabulous– another cookie to put on my Christmas baking list!
Chocolate – and coconut! Two of my favorite flavor ever together. It’s like your a mind-reader. 😉 Can’t wait to give these a try!
My birthday is in two days and I want to say that you wrote this post just for me. Sounds like my ideal dessert.
These sound incredibly yummy! Plus I love recipes which don’t make a huge amount of cookies, so I can try more recipes 🙂
Brilliant minds must think alike! 😉 When I think of m favorite desserts, those three definitely top the list.
Those look so awesome, I love the chunky chocolate bottom. Yum!
these look so good!! need to go buy peppermint extract immediately! Do these need to be kept refridgerated after they are ready or are they ok to be in a cookie tin or on a plate for a few hours?
They will be fine sitting out as long as you don’t use the healthy chocolate sauce for the coating. If you use chocolate chips melted for the coating they will be fine to sit out.
Can’t wait to make this recipe, looks delicious!
I love your blog but recently I’ve noticed that when you include the nutrition information you don’t give how many servings it was calculated for and you give a range of servings (in this case 12 to 22 cookies).
I always have said that if I had one wish and could change anything about myself, I would wish to be an amazing singer. But ever since becoming plant-based, I’ve changed that wish so that it would be for me to actually like coconut! I guess it’s a GOOD thing that I don’t like it, since I can’t digest it with my extremely bad gallbladder and gastroparesis. Loving something and not getting to eat it is the WORST feeling ever, so I guess I should be thankful!
But I’m secretly still a tad jealous.
