Coconut Filled Chocolate Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
• Mix oats and coconut in a large bowl until thoroughly combined.
• Stir sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and margarine together in a saucepan over medium heat until the mixture is smooth. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour over the oats and coconut and quickly mix to coat. Drop by tablespoon onto prepared baking sheet; let cookies cool and harden. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, coconut, almonds and milk. Shape into 1-in. balls. Refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes. , In a microwave, melt semisweet chips and shortening on high for about 1 minute; stir. Microwave at additional 10- to 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth., Dip balls in chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Coat or garnish with ingredients of your choice. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together 8 tablespoons butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. Reduce speed to low and slowly add flour mixture, beating until almost combined. Add coconut and beat until incorporated. Place dough between two sheets of parchment and roll out to a 10 1/2-by-12 1/2-inch rectangle, 1/4 inch thick. Using a sharp knife, trim 1/2 inch from edges to create a 10-by-12-inch rectangle. Transfer to a baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• Place chocolate and remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water; stir until melted and smooth, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in condensed milk. Let cool 5 minutes. Mixture will be thick and pasty.
• Remove dough from refrigerator and peel off top sheet of parchment. Using an offset spatula, spread chocolate mixture evenly over surface of dough. Using the bottom sheet of parchment for support, roll dough into a tight log. Wrap log in plastic; refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove plastic from log and cut log into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets, spaced 1 inch apart. Bake, rotating pans halfway through, until firm and beginning to brown around edges, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool on sheets 5 minutes, then transfer cookies to wire racks and let cool completely. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt to a large bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
• Add the coconut sugar and butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat together until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, being sure to fully incorporate before another addition. Once incorporated, add the vanilla and beat to combine. Add in the flour mixture and beat until no more flour spots are visible. Fold in the chocolate chips and coconut by hand. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Scoop out a 2-tablespoon size portion of dough and roll it into a ball. Place the dough ball on the prepared baking sheet. Continue scooping and rolling until you have about 10 to 12 cookies per sheet, leaving 2-inches between them. Bake until the edges have set, but the center is still soft, about 14 minutes.
• Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Let the baking sheets cool completely and bake the remaining dough. (Alternatively, the remaining cookie dough can be wrapped and frozen for up to 1 month.)

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:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cover 2 sheet trays with parchment paper.
• Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
• Add the butter and sugars to a large bowl and beat with an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the vanilla and egg and beat until incorporated. Add the flour mixture in increments, beating until well combined. Briefly beat in the coconut flakes, chocolate chips and pecans until mixed together. Using your hands, roll the dough into walnut-size balls and drop 8 on a sheet tray, leaving 2 1/2 inches of space between them. Flatten them slightly. Bake 13 minutes. Let cool on the sheet tray 5 minutes.

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.
• Now, it's time to make the chocolate cookie dough, while the macaroons are cooling:.
• Increase the oven temperature to 350.
• In a mixer, cream together the butter and sugars.
• Add the eggs, one at a time.
• Now add the vanilla.
• Blend in the cocoa, 1/2 cup at a time.
• 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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Mix flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda together in a small bowl. Beat 1 cup white sugar, brown sugar, and butter together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and eggs; beat well. Stir flour mixture into sugar mixture; mix well.
• Lightly flour hands. Shape about 1 tablespoon dough around 1 chocolate-covered caramel candy, covering it completely. Repeat with remaining dough and caramel candies.
• Place 2 tablespoons white sugar in a small bowl. Press one side of each ball into sugar. Place balls, sugar sides up, onto a baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cookie is set and slightly cracked, 7 to 10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for about 2 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Melt almond bark in a saucepan over low heat. Drizzle over cookies.
