Coconut Chocolate Chunk Cookies
I have been super into coconut flavors lately. I’ve been heavy handed on coconut flakes, coconut milk, coconut oil, coconut sugar and coconut flour. And now I’ve developed a slight addiction to coconut chocolate chunk cookies.
I came across this recipe from one of my favorite bloggers, Ambitious Kitchen, when I was looking for coconut cookies and loved that they were gluten-free, low carb and super low in sugar compared to other cookie recipes.
I’ve made these three times in the past few weeks. They’re a dangerous type of delicious.
The dark chocolate chunks melt into soft, gooey nuggets that punctuate the coconut dough. The sea salt on top provides the perfect complement to the chocolate and there are slightly nutty currents of coconut enveloping every bite. Healthy cookie perfection.
These cookies are super easy to make. And you only need one mixing bowl, which makes for easy clean-up, too! I’ve made these with dark chocolate, milk chocolate and white chocolate chunks. Feel free to explore with whatever nuts, chocolates and mix-ins you are craving.
Sinfully delicious, and since they are low in sugar, low carb, gluten-free, grain-free and optionally dairy-free, you can feel good indulging! Happy coconut snacking!
