CHOCOLATE COCONUT COOKIES
2 eggs
2 Tblsp butter, melted and cooled
2 Tblsp maple syrup (or more for sweeter cookies)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup shredded coconut
2 Tblsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 pinch baking soda
1/4 cup sliced almonds [I used mini dark chocolate chips instead]
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, maple syrup, and vanilla.
- Mix in unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and shredded coconut until well combined.
- Fold in the almonds, if desired. [or dark chocolate chips]
- Divide into 12 dollops [I used the small ice-cream scoop from Pampered Chef, you get a lot more than 12 cookies!] on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet, and flatten them with a fork.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes or until slightly firm to the touch.
