There are really only two things I love more than chocolate.
Can you guess these two things?
Mint Chocolate and Coconut Chocolate.
Okay, so really those are both still chocolate.
Okay, so really there is nothing I love more than chocolate.
Sorry not sorry.
Peppermint Chocolate Coconut Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp flour of choice
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, full-fat
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp milk of choice or canned coconut milk
- 3 tbsp agave or pure maple syrup
- pinch stevia OR 1 additional tbsp maple syrup and cut milk back by 1 tbsp
- 1/4 tsp pure peppermint extract
- just over 1/16 tsp salt
- melted chocolate chips or healthy chocolate sauce, for dipping
Instructions
Combine all ingredients except chips in a tall dish or pyrex. If using a microwave, heat two minutes. Stir, then microwave one more minute OR longer, until firm enough to scoop out into ball shapes. (Alternatively, you can cook on the stovetop until it’s firm enough to scoop out into balls.) Scoop balls onto a greased cookie tray: I used a mini cookie scoop /melon baller, but a spoon or ice-cream scoop also work. Bake at 360 F for 14-16 minutes. So they do not fall apart, be sure to let the cookies cool at least 10 minutes before removing from tray. Line a plate with wax paper and dip each cooled cookie in melted chocolate. Place the cookies on the wax paper, and refrigerate or freeze to set the chocolate. Makes 12-22 cookies, depending on the size cookie scoop used.

Oh dear! You have created a chocoholic. OK, not really. I was one before I found your blog. But you have made this diabetic very happy! I made these last week and had to triple the recipe. They disappear fast. Everyone who tried them has asked for the recipe. I have made several of your recipes. Keep them coming!
I just made and ate my first peppermint chocolate coconut cookie and it was soooo delicious! I am on my guard that I don’t eat them all at once. So good! Very easy and quick to prepare. Didn’t have agave so used honey. Had some leftover sauce I’m letting set into chocolate bars. Thanks, Katie! You made my day!
Hey Katie! I just tried making these mint chocolate coconut cookies today and I’m wondering if something isn’t off in the measurements in the recipe? The mixture was soup even after microwave it the recommended amount of time. In order to get it to a consistency I could scoop I had to add about a cup more flour.
LOVED THESE! I used plain yogurt instead of milk and loved the results. I also sprinkled the still-soft chocolate with coarse salt after coating. These really hit the spot when I was craving peppermint.
Would you recommend subbing oats for the coconut for someone who cannot eat coconut? I realize this makes it a totally different cookie, more like a no-bake…but curious if the texture would hold.
