With only a few simple ingredients, you’ll have these chewy, chocolate coconut cookies in minutes.
Today, Iβm excited to share with you this recipe for Chocolate Coconut Cookies! Theyβre super easy to make and taste absolutely yummyβ¦the coconut toasts right up around the outsides of the cookies so youβre left with a delicious toasted coconut and rich chocolate cookie! You’re going to have to try them for yourself and see.
This recipe is simple, requiring just 7 ingredients and under 30 minutes from start to finish (because no one likes to wait much longer for cookies).
Another perk? These chocolate coconut cookies are naturally sweetened with coconut sugar, and instead of butter I used coconut oil instead. Theyβre also infused with cacao powder (not to be confused with cocoa) for that extra healthy, chocolate-y twist. To finish these off, I thought it would be a little fun to add some fresh berry jam in the center and “boy” was I right. I already love the coconut & chocolate combination but when you get a subtle bite of berries mixed in, it’s almost refreshing.
I guess you could say this is a chocolate cookie with a healthy twist.

Always a fan of the chocolate coconut combo
Oh, yum! They look super tasty. And I love how easy they are to make.
I can’t believe how few ingredients these have Nicole! I also love that you paired blackberry jam and chocolate.
Hey Alisa! Yes, so few ingredients but lots of flavor & texture. The jam for sure is one of my favorite additions. I just love the all things berries & chocolate.
These look amazing! I never would have thought to add the jam!
Thanks Amanda. They are really good (you should check out Lindsey Lee & Co on Instagram and see her delicious remake). The jam just makes them a little more fun π
Really great recipe! I’d love to make these today! I wonder if I have brown rice syrup. Love your photos!!!
Thanks Lindsey & glad you messaged me on IN with your question (I saw it faster there). But if you or anyone else is without Brown Rice Syrup, you can use real maple syrup or even agave. Honey is also an option if you are not vegan.
I am assuming you mean 1/2 CUP brown rice syrup?
Oh my goodness! Yes, and I made sure to note that too! Thank you
