Chocolate Coconut Cluster Cookies
These no-bake cookies are soft, chewy, chocolatey, and so easy to make… all you need is 15 minutes, a few pantry staples, and some serious patience to keep yourself from digging in before they cool!
Ingredients: (Makes 12 cookies)
3/4 Cup Sugar
2 Tbsp. Dutch Processed Cocoa Powder
1/4 Cup Milk
1/4 Cup Butter
3/4 Cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
3/4 Cup Dark Chocolate Seed Blend
1/2 Cup Shredded Coconut (unsweetened)
1/2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
1/8 tsp. Salt
Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Combine sugar and cocoa powder in a medium saucepan. Stir in milk and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add butter or shortening and mix until fully incorporated. Bring mixture to a low boil, then add the oats and continue to cook (while stirring) for 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat and quickly mix in the Dark Chocolate Seed Blend, shredded coconut, vanilla, and salt. Use an ice cream scoop or large spoon(s) to form the mixture into 12 even cookie ‘clusters’ on the prepared baking sheet. Work quickly here, or the mixture will harden and become difficult to work with! Once your cookie clusters have been placed on the baking sheet, all you have to do is let them cool… which is truly the hardest part of the whole process. But, after about 30 minutes on the counter (or 15 minutes in the fridge) your decadent cookie clusters will be ready to devour!
