Spoonful of Something

creating impressive yet easy dessert recipes

November 26, 2019 By Ambreen Wajid

Double Chocolate Coconut Cookies

      Okay okay, there are some combinations that are just always an instant hit. Chocolate and vanilla? Yes. Coffee and Ice Cream? Yes. So I really don’t know why it’s taken me this long to combine my personal favorite ingredients and create these delicious cookies! What are my favorite ingredients? Chocolate, coconut, and coffee. Andddd what’s in these decadent little cookies? That’s right…chocolate, coconut, & coffee.  What does this mean for me? It means that these cookies just earned a permanent spot in my emergency freezer cookie stash- a true honor & real essential in any household.

      I’ve been having a serious chocolate craving lately! I even used up the entire emergency stash of my classic chocolate chip cookies in hopes of quelling it! But after devouring basically a tray full of cookies, I still wasn’t satisfied. Enter these doubly chocolately deliciousness! It 100% hit the spot, and the addition of coconut and coffee just pushed these over the top! They’re fudgy and flavorful, and gone within minutes! (That last part was not a joke, I actually need to whip up an extra batch just so I can have extra dough in the freezer.) 

      So if you’re as happy as I am that it’s the weekend, it’s officially cold, andddd to finally have a day of fully relaxing- it’s time to sit back and whip up this fresh batch of deliciousness! This weekend is going to be all about staying cozy indoors, making freshly brewed coffee, and binging on unbelievably predictable and ridiculous Netflix movies (it’s a guilty pleasure that I’m definitely taking part in this weekend). As I mentioned earlier, these cookies will be a perfect pairing to this weekend, no matter what you get up to!

    These cookies are AMAZING! I’ve made them 3 times already. They are the perfect level of sweetness, so chocolatey and so coconut-ey at the same time! Definitely keeping a freezer stash of this dough ready at all times.

As a baker, can I share something controversial? As a baker, can I share something controversial?

I don’t really like cake. 🫢

Mostly because the frosting that usually comes with it is overwhelming & somehow underwhelming at the same time. And I’m not interested in making “pretty” cakes that don’t actually taste good.

Every topping has to justify its existence.

So this cake? 🍰🍓🥥✨
Layered with berry jam and sliced strawberries.
Dusted with powdered sugar.
Drizzled with honey.
Finished with coconut flakes and chopped nuts.

…on second thought, is it even controversial to say baking should be about taste, not just looks? 😂

But for the last two years, it’s been these Italian almond cookies because I can whip them up so quickly and they never fail to impress! 👩🏽‍🍳✨
