Momma Scout Coconut Cookies
Servings: 12
Preparation Time: 1 hour
Ingredients:
Cookies:
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup tapioca flour
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup mashed banana
Chocolate Sauce:
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut milk*
Filling:
- 1/4 cup coconut milk*
- 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup)
- 1/2 cup whole cane sugar
- 1 cup shredded coconut
Directions:
In a mixing bowl, combine cookie ingredients and knead until smooth. Roll out between two pieces of parchment paper until about 1/4 inch thick. Using a donut cutter, cut out small circular cookies. Reroll dough and cut until all dough is used.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 10 minutes or until slightly brown. Let cool about 15 minutes.
Melt chocolate chips with coconut milk in a double boiler. Dip the bottoms of cookies into the chocolate sauce and place on a parchment-lined baking pan. Chill for about 20 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened.
Meanwhile, bring coconut milk, honey, and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan. Boil for about 5 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in coconut flakes. Carefully spoon coconut filling onto cooled cookies. Drizzle with any remaining chocolate sauce and let chill again for about 20 minutes.
*For the freshest coconut milk, make homemade coconut milk. (See video at this link.)
