- Water: use filtered water.
- Oil: use a neutral flavored oil like canola oil or vegetable oil. You could also use melted coconut oil.
How to Make Brownie Coconut Cookies
These brownie coconut cookies are so simple to make. All you need is a bowl and a cookie sheet. This recipe will make about two dozen cookies.
Start by preheating the oven and lining two cookie sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
Step 1: Mix Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients and use a wooden spoon to stir them all together until just combined. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Step 2: Scoop and Bake
Use a cookie scoop or spoon to measure out equal sized balls of cookie dough. Roll into balls and place on prepared baking sheets.
Flatten down the cookie batter slightly using the palm of your hand. Bake on center rack in oven for 12-14 minutes.
Let the cookies cool on pan for five minutes then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
