Coconut Filled Chocolate Cookies Aka Mounds Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Sift together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; set aside.
• Cream together butter, sugar, vanilla, egg and sour cream.
• Stir in dry ingredients.
• Cover and refrigerate dough.
• To prepare filling: Combine coconut and milk in a pot over medium heat. Combine cornstarch and sugar; stir into milk. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease cookie sheets.
• On a floured surface, roll dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into 2-1/2 inch circles. Place half of the circles 1-1/2 inches apart on the cookie sheets. Spoon 1 teaspoon filling into center of each circle. Top with another circle of dough and press edges to seal.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes. Cool cookies on baking sheet 5 minutes then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar. Store in a single layer.
• NOTES:.
• I had a very hard time with these (sticky dough) and found that using cocoa to roll them out really helped. They are difficult to do, but once you get the hang of it, they go faster and easier. It's all worth it in the end!
• I had a lot of filling left over, but I did make them smaller (about 2 1/4 inches) and lost some dough due to mishaps. I would suggest using a heaping teaspoon of filling in each one.

Steps:

• 1) Mix cake mix, 1/3 cup of oil, and eggs together. I use my hands.
• 2) Slowly add the coconut flakes a little at a time continuing to mix the dough by hand.
• 3) The dough will be thick and sticky, if it is too thick, you can add one more TBSP of oil.
• 4) Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• 5) Roll dough into small balls and drop onto parchment paper.
• 6) Press the balls down firmly with your hand. If the dough balls are not pressed down, the cookie will not cook properly. They did not spread out evenly on their own.
• 7) Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes.
• 8) Since ovens vary, you may want to keep an eye on your first batch. The cookies should cook to a light golden color.
• 9) Place cookies on a cooling rack immediately once they are cooked and allow them to cool for about ten minutes.
• 10) Once the cookies have cooled, melt one of the German's Sweet Chocolate bars by breaking it in half and microwaving it for 60 seconds and then stiring it with a spoon to get it smooth.
• 11) Dip the top portion of the cookie into the chocolate and place the cookie on wax paper to allow the chocolate to dry.
• 12) One chocolate bar should cover about 12 small cookies really well.
• 13) I made 36 small size cookies or 24 medium cookies, but you could adjust for size if you like.
• 14) If the chocolate is not getting hard you can place the cookies in the fridge, or even in the freezer for just a few minutes.
• 15) Please rate and review this recipe if you make it. Even if you don't like it or made changes. I would love the feedback and keep hearing about people who are making this recipe, but no one is rating it. I would love to hear from you!

Steps:

• First, make the coconut macaroon filling:.
• With two racks in the middle of your oven, preheat the oven to 325.
• Spray two baking sheets or parchment paper with non-stick cooking spray.
• Beat egg whites and salt together until soft peaks form.
• Slowly add in sugar and beat until stiff, glossy peaks are present.
• Beat in vanilla.
• Add half the coconut and sprinkle with the flour.
• Add the rest of the coconut and gently fold into the egg white meringue.
• Using a 3/4 ounce scoop (almost 2 TBSP), drop onto baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
• Bake about 8-9 minutes, until just set. These will be under-baked and not brown at all. It's okay, because will be the filling and will finish baking inside the chocolate cookie.

• Increase the oven temperature to 350.

• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
• Mix in the flour mixture to the dough about a cup at a time, until well combined.
• Place fresh sheets of parchment paper (ungreased) on your cookie sheets.
• Using a 1 ounce scoop (2 Tablespoons), drop 6 mounds of dough onto each cookie sheet, spaced widely apart. These will be very big cookies.
• Spray the back of a teaspoon with non-stick cooking spray and use the back of that spoon to make a nest out of the dough for each macaroon.
• Set a macaroon on top of each chocolate cookie "nest".
• Place another 1 ounce scoop of chocolate cookie dough on top of the macaroon layer. Now there are three cookie layers.
• Spread and flatten the dough, so that the macaroon is completely covered.
• Bake in the upper half of the oven for 13 minutes. Cookies may look a little under-baked when you remove them from the oven, but they will set up and dry, as they cool.
• Immediately, slide the parchment paper with the hot cookies onto a cooling rack (otherwise, they will continue to bake and burn on the bottom). Cool for at least 5 minutes.
