Looking for another way to get healthy coconut products into your diet? You must give these cookies a try. Dense, dark and chewy, these no-bake chocolate coconut cookies are packed with coconut oil and shredded coconut so they make a healthy and delicious addition to any meal or snack.
These cookies are 100% real food, but in my experience they also get rave reviews from eaters who don’t adhere to a real food diet. I’ve taken them to several “normal” parties and always receive compliments on how delicious they are.
This is a fantastic cookie recipe to make if you’re short on time and/or don’t want to heat up your house by turning on the oven. Ingredients merely need to be melted and mixed on the stovetop, then spooned out and frozen before they’re ready to eat.
A Couple Notes on Ingredients:
Shredded coconut: I highly recommend buying shredded coconut online. In my experience, buying it in bulk is WAY less expensive than buying small packages at the grocery store. (If your local store has a great bulk section, that may be an affordable option, too.) I usually buy this shredded coconut.
Cocoa powder: I always use raw cacao powder in my recipes, but any kind of cocoa powder will work, too. Like the shredded coconut, I highly recommend buying your cacao powder in bulk, if you go through a lot of it. I usually buy this cacao powder.
Recipe Notes:
These cookies need to be stored in the fridge or freezer. While you can leave them out for a short time while serving, they WILL melt if left at room temperature for long–particularly if it’s a hot day.
These cookies are packed full of coconut oil and shredded coconut. If you’re new to coconut products, you should know that eating too much coconut oil (or other coconut products) at one sitting can cause intestinal upset. How much is too much seems to vary from person to person, so although these cookies are delicious, I wouldn’t recommend eating more than or two at time. If you want, you can then experiment to determine your own coconut tolerance level.
