No-Bake Dark Chocolate Coconut Drop Cookies

Yields1 Serving

 ¼ tsp coconut palm sugar
 2 tbsp raw/local honey
 1 tbsp coconut oil
 ½ tsp sea salt
 ¼ cup canned coconut milk (light or full fat)
 ½ cup almond butter
 2 ½ cups finely shredded coconut
 1 cup toasted oats
 ½ cup 80% or higher dark chocolate chunks
1

In a small saucepan, mix the coconut sugar, honey, coconut oil, and salt together. Heat over medium heat, stirring continuously so that everything gets melted

2

When the sugar starts to gently bubble, set a timer for two minutes. Stir the mixture once or twice during these two minutes.

3

Carefully stir in the coconut milk (the sugar mixture will bubble up a lot!) until it is mixed in and continue to heat until the sauce returns to a low simmer.

4

Then just simmer for another 2 minutes until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon – it should still be thin enough to easily drizzle.

5

Once it gets into a sauce type mixture. Remove from heat and add the almond butter and stir well until the almond butter is melted into the sauce. Set this aside to let it cool while you toast the oats.

6

Place the oats in a single-ish layer into a medium, dry skillet, over medium-high heat. Let them sit for 1 minute or so and then toss into another layer. Let sit another minute or so and repeat until you can slightly smell the oats and they are barely browned.

7

Add the coconut, oats and chocolate chunks and stir gently until just combined and you have a “dough” that sticks together.

8

Using two spoons or a small ice cream scoop, portion the dough on a parchment lined baking sheet. You can leave them as is or wet the fingertips of one hand and gently press each one down to look more like a “cookie.

9

Place them in the fridge to set for at least 2 hours - up to overnight, if you can wait that long!
