Chocolate Coconut Cookies

Also worthy are these Pecan Haystacks, so simple to make. But if cookies is where it’s at, you need to try these Chocolate Reese’s Pieces Cookies.

With only a week until Christmas, I’m officially in baking overdrive. I put off making holiday treats until now, so that they last until the big event.

Unfortunately now I’m rushing like mad, trying to get it all done in limited time. This is the time when I’m thankful for easy recipes, or else my holiday baking wouldn’t exist all I’m sure.

I discovered a recipe for Chocolate Chunk Macaroons, and after reading through the ingredients and instructions, I decided the simplicity yelled ‘make me!‘. Yet I wanted more of a cookie taste, so I adapted the recipe that I found.

After baking, I wasn’t left with the classic ball-shape of macaroons. Instead they had spread and flattened into cookies. I did omit the pecans, but I don’t think that would have caused the drop.

In any case, cookie were made. And they were still super-good, so that’s a victory! It goes to show that baking is hit and miss, and we all have our fails now and then.

So this is how the Chocolate Coconut Cookies recipe came to be. If you really want that macaroon shape, I’d suggest using only half the can of milk, and maybe 1/3 cup more coconut.

That might bulk it up enough to give it some sticking power. Either way, they’re good in cookie form, because, cookies!

For another cookie recipe to try, these Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookies are amazing as well!

    Chocolate and coconut, how could these not be delicious! I tried to make macaroons a couple of weeks ago and they didn’t turn out that great. I’ll have to test these out to make up for it.

    These look delicious, round or flat. You could let the “dough” sit for a bit so the coconut absorbs more moisture and they’d be rounder. Also all coconut and sweetened condensed milk isn’t created equal. So a different brand might just do the trick.

    Made these up they were delicious but mine never flattened out and stayed more like a macaroon shape. Did not have Bakers Semi sweet squares so just used chocolate chips.
