Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prepare for cookie placement.
- In a medium saucepan, combine coconut oil and honey over medium-low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is fully melted and well combined.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and add cocoa powder, stirring until the mixture becomes smooth and fully integrated.
- Stir in vanilla extract, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the chocolate mixture.
- Add rolled oats and shredded coconut to the chocolate mixture, stirring thoroughly to coat all dry ingredients completely.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1-2 inches apart.
- Use the back of a spoon to gently flatten and shape each cookie into a desired round shape.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for approximately 10-15 minutes to allow cookies to set and firm up.
- Once cookies are firm and hold their shape, remove from the refrigerator and serve. Store any remaining cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for the richest chocolate flavor.
- Make sure to stir continuously when melting coconut oil and honey to prevent burning.
- For perfectly shaped cookies, use a cookie scoop for consistent sizing.
- Chill the cookies completely before serving to ensure they hold their shape.
- If the mixture seems too runny, let it cool slightly before adding dry ingredients.
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of sea salt to enhance the chocolate taste.
- Experiment with different extracts like almond or peppermint for unique variations.
- Use a silicone mat or parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
- Store cookies in a single layer to prevent sticking and maintain their shape.
