April 28, 2012 by Leanne Vogel August 15, 2014

Fudge filled coconut cookies with just 5 simple, easy to find ingredients.

Ingredients

• 2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• ½ cup cocao powder
• ½ cup unpasteurized honey
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicon baking mat.
2. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix until combined.
3. Grab about ¼ cup of mixture with hands and press together, flattening out like the mud pies you may have made as a kid with the mud in your backyard (I swear these cookies will taste better!)
4. Place on prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden. Mine were perfect at 15 minutes.

Notes

Egg free: replace 2 eggs with 2 flax eggs – 2 tablespoon finely ground flax seed mixed with 6 tablespoon water. Cook for the same amount of time just be careful when removing from the pan as they’re a bit more fragile. Vegan: use egg-free option above and use date syrup or rice syrup instead of honey.
