Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup rolled oats
  2. 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  3. 1/2 cup honey
  4. 1/4 cup coconut oil
  5. 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  6. 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prepare for cookie placement.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine coconut oil and honey over medium-low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is fully melted and well combined.
  3. Remove the saucepan from heat and add cocoa powder, stirring until the mixture becomes smooth and fully integrated.
  4. Stir in vanilla extract, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the chocolate mixture.
  5. Add rolled oats and shredded coconut to the chocolate mixture, stirring thoroughly to coat all dry ingredients completely.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1-2 inches apart.
  7. Use the back of a spoon to gently flatten and shape each cookie into a desired round shape.
  8. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for approximately 10-15 minutes to allow cookies to set and firm up.
  9. 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

  1. Use high-quality cocoa powder for the richest chocolate flavor.
  2. Make sure to stir continuously when melting coconut oil and honey to prevent burning.
  3. For perfectly shaped cookies, use a cookie scoop for consistent sizing.
  4. Chill the cookies completely before serving to ensure they hold their shape.
  5. If the mixture seems too runny, let it cool slightly before adding dry ingredients.
  6. For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of sea salt to enhance the chocolate taste.
  7. Experiment with different extracts like almond or peppermint for unique variations.
  8. Use a silicone mat or parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
  9. Store cookies in a single layer to prevent sticking and maintain their shape.
