Prep Time 25 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Servings 65 cookies

Ingredients

  • approx. 200 g shredded coconut
  • 200 ml coconut milk canned
  • 140 g coconut oil melted
  • 140 g powdered sugar
  • approx. 400 g flour
  • 12 g baking powder
  • vanilla (e.g. vanilla pod scraped out, vanilla sugar or vanilla extract)
  • 1 pinch of salt

for the decorating

  • approx. 150 g dark chocolate vegan
  • approx. 50 g shredded coconut

Instructions

  • Mix shredded coconut, powdered sugar and salt in a mixing bowl.
  • Add coconut milk, melted coconut oil and vanilla and mix.
  • Mix flour with baking powder, add it to the coconut mixture in batches until a sticky dough forms. If the dough is mushy after you add all the flour, add some more shredded coconut.
  • Form small balls (about the size of a walnut) from the coconut dough, you can keep wetting your hands a little with water, and spread them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper with plenty of space between them.
  • Bake the coconut cookies in a preheated oven at 180 °C top and bottom heat for about 15 minutes. Repeat the process until the dough is used up and let the coconut cookies cool.
  • Slowly melt dark chocolate, dip one side of each coconut cookie into it and sprinkle this side with shredded coconut from above and below.
  • Spread the coconut cookies on a sheet of baking paper and let the chocolate dry briefly.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of powdered sugar to taste, depending on how sweet you like the cookies.
  • Depending on how dry the shredded coconut is, you might need a little more or less of it for the dough. The dough needs to be sticky, not mushy, and not dry.
