Calories 175kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups coconut sugar or other granulated sugar
- ½ cup coconut oil (can substitute butter or vegan butter)
- ½ cup milk of choice
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
Instructions
- Chocolate mixture: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the sugar, coconut oil, and milk to a simmer, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Continue simmering until the sugar dissolves (about 2 minutes). Then add the cocoa powder and stir until well mixed. Remove from heat.
- Dough: Add the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix together. Then add the unsweetened shredded coconut. Mix thoroughly until you have a thick dough.
- Cookies: Drop the dough in tablespoons on a baking sheet covered with a silicone liner, wax paper, or parchment paper to prevent sticking. Use a spoon to gently press the cookies into a more flattened shape if you desire. Allow the cookies to cool completely. It helps to put them in the refrigerator to cool if it's hot outside, or if you want to eat them sooner.
