I made a batch and they wouldn’t stop shouting my name. They insisted that I eat them! Every time I walked past the cookie container on the counter, I could hear these chocolate coconut cookies begging me to eat them. So, I did! I ate them until they were all gone. Gotta listen to the cookies:)
And don’t let “vegan cookies” scare you, I promise they are SO good! The cookies are super rich and fudgy. One chocolate coconut cookie will certainly satisfy your chocolate craving, but because they are so good, I kept eating them. I have no self-control when it comes to cookies. Plus, they kept calling my name! I think they even started singing a few Maria songs. I love that there are so many songs made just for me:)
How to Make the Cookies Vegan
The chocolate coconut combo is amazing! I used coconut oil and Almond Breeze’s Almondmilk Coconutmilk Original to make the cookies. The milk gives the cookies a hint of coconut flavor and keeps them super moist and fudgy without using any eggs. For an extra kick of coconut, I rolled the cookies in coconut before baking them. The coconut made the cookies pretty too and I am all about pretty! I promise you won’t be able to tell these chocolate coconut cookies are vegan. They are a chocolate lover’s dream!
Stop and listen closely. Do you hear that? See, I told you! The cookies are calling your name! You better go make a batch of Vegan Chocolate Coconut Cookies right now! Don’t blame me, blame the cookies:) Enjoy!
