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.

Coconut is my FAVOURITE thing to put in desserts and chocolate is the best so these must be the most incredibly good tasting cookies!
Yum. mint, chocolate, and coconut all together. I can’t wait to try these. btw, did all the giveaway’s end? (the vitamix, cocowhip, etc) If so, who won?
I’m definitely going to make these for my family this Christmas! They look amazing! 😀
I made these yesterday and wow, amazing! I doubled the cocoa after I tasted the batter and thought it needed to be chocolatey-er. I also only microwaved the batter about 90 seconds. The cookies seemed a little fragile for dipping after they baked, so I drizzled the melted chocolate instead. Maybe if I’d let them cool down all the way, dipping would have worked, but I wanted mah cookies now! Topped with crushed candy canes, they are perfect for Christmas!
I made these yesterday with hopes to take them to a cookie exchange. I quadrupled the recipe as I needed 6 dozen cookies, however, as it often goes, they didn’t turn out quite like they should have. The dough seemed excessively wet and I had to add a bit more coconut flour and dried unsweetened coconut to soak up some of the liquid. They baked ok but were so very delicate that they couldn’t be handled so I gently put them in my dehydrator and after about an hour or so, they crisped up enough to be able to dip in chocolate. Next go round, I will stick with the single batch recipe and see if they turn out a bit more sturdy. As for the taste, they were quite yummy despite all the technical difficulty I had! 🙂
These are a winner! Just made them and ate three (straight out of the freezer (oops). I adore the chocolate/peppermint/coconut combo, and I even dipped them in your chocolate chip recipe (the one with maple syrup). I used coconut milk which thickened the batter, and I was able to roll them into balls after scooping them out. They held up beautifully after baking and cooling. These are going into the permanent holiday rotation. High calorie, but no white sugar, so as a once in a while treat — yay!
Thank you for another great recipe! We made these today, for a Christmas Eve treat, and they were delicious.
