Coconut-Chocolate Chip Cookies image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield about 3 1/2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups coconut sugar (see Cook's Note)
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips
1 cup finely shredded, unsweetened coconut

Steps:

  • Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt to a large bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
  • Add the coconut sugar and butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat together until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, being sure to fully incorporate before another addition. Once incorporated, add the vanilla and beat to combine. Add in the flour mixture and beat until no more flour spots are visible. Fold in the chocolate chips and coconut by hand. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Scoop out a 2-tablespoon size portion of dough and roll it into a ball. Place the dough ball on the prepared baking sheet. Continue scooping and rolling until you have about 10 to 12 cookies per sheet, leaving 2-inches between them. Bake until the edges have set, but the center is still soft, about 14 minutes.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Let the baking sheets cool completely and bake the remaining dough. (Alternatively, the remaining cookie dough can be wrapped and frozen for up to 1 month.)

COCONUT FILLED CHOCOLATE COOKIES AKA MOUNDS COOKIES



Coconut Filled Chocolate Cookies Aka Mounds Cookies image

Adapted from a recipe found online at thatsmyhome.com, these are going on my Christmas trays this year! **12/21/07 Update: I have now made these and have to admit the dough is pretty hard to handle, but the end result is worth it!

Provided by Karen..

Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup sour cream
powdered sugar, for dusting
1 cup flaked coconut
2 cups milk
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Sift together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; set aside.
  • Cream together butter, sugar, vanilla, egg and sour cream.
  • Stir in dry ingredients.
  • Cover and refrigerate dough.
  • To prepare filling: Combine coconut and milk in a pot over medium heat. Combine cornstarch and sugar; stir into milk. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease cookie sheets.
  • On a floured surface, roll dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into 2-1/2 inch circles. Place half of the circles 1-1/2 inches apart on the cookie sheets. Spoon 1 teaspoon filling into center of each circle. Top with another circle of dough and press edges to seal.
  • Bake 8 to 10 minutes. Cool cookies on baking sheet 5 minutes then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar. Store in a single layer.
  • NOTES:.
  • I had a very hard time with these (sticky dough) and found that using cocoa to roll them out really helped. They are difficult to do, but once you get the hang of it, they go faster and easier. It's all worth it in the end!
  • I had a lot of filling left over, but I did make them smaller (about 2 1/4 inches) and lost some dough due to mishaps. I would suggest using a heaping teaspoon of filling in each one.

CHOCOLATE-COCONUT BARS



Chocolate-Coconut Bars image

These decadent bars are inspired by Hello Dollies, a popular Southern dessert.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Time 1h

Yield Makes 20

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups finely ground cookies (12 ounces), such as graham crackers or chocolate wafers, or a combination
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup pecan pieces
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips or chunks
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly splash a 15-by-10-inch rimmed baking sheet evenly with water, then line with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, stir together cookie crumbs, sugar, and butter until combined. Evenly press onto bottom and up sides of prepared baking sheet. Bake, rotating halfway through, until firm, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; cool, about 20 minutes.
  • Sprinkle cooled crust evenly with pecans and chocolate. Pour condensed milk over the top, spreading to cover completely (do not let it drip over the edges). Sprinkle with coconut.
  • Bake until coconut is toasted, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to rack; cool completely. Trim edges, if desired, and cut into equal-size bars.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.
  • Be sure to chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • If you don't have a cookie scoop, you can use a tablespoon to measure out the dough. Just be sure to level off the dough with a knife before scooping it onto the baking sheet.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set around the edges but still soft in the center. This will give you a chewy cookie that is perfect for sandwiches.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. This will help prevent them from breaking.

Conclusion:

Chocolate Coconut Mound Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are chewy, chocolatey, and coconutty, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give these cookies a try.
