Chocolate Chip Toasted Coconut Cookies

March 27, 2016 By Betsy Cohen

Chocolate Chip Toasted Coconut Cookies are delicious and freeze beautifully. Freeze the dough balls and bake as needed. A yummy recipe you have to make!

Chocolate Chip Toasted Coconut Cookies


Every so often I am at a loss for what I have a taste for in terms of baking.  I open and close my refrigerator and pantry numerous times waiting for ingredients to call my name.  This is pretty much how Chocolate Chip Toasted Coconut Cookies came into being.

Samuel had been telling me that we didn’t have anything to eat, as in cookies/brownies/cakes. Shocking, I know, but true.  I felt like Mother Hubbard whose cupboards were bare.

I knew that once I came up with an idea, our cupboards (or freezer) would once again be back to normal.  Rather than simply adding coconut into the dough with the chocolate chips, I chose to toast it first.  I am so glad that I did because the depth of flavor brought into the cookies by taking this extra step is fantastic.

The key to getting the cookies to hold their shape while baking is allowing the dough to sit in the refrigerator for an hour before scooping.  You can leave the dough in longer, if it works better with your schedule but the hour is highly recommended if you do not want a pancake looking cookie.

The best news is that the cookies freeze beautifully after baking.  Alternatively, you may scoop the dough onto a baking sheet and freeze the balls.  Once the balls are hard, transfer them to a freezer safe container.  When you want a freshly baked cookie, the balls are ready to bake.

About Betsy

Happylicious By Betsy December 2015 lo res I have loved desserts for as long as I can remember. Growing up I loved the smell of freshly baked challah in my maternal great-grandmother’s kitchen, the incredible butter cookies from my paternal grandmother and the perfect pies my mother used to bake when company came over. More about me.
