    Ingredients

    Ingredients for recipe on a cutting board with a towel.
    • Brownie Mix: use an 18 ounce package of fudge brownie mix. I like to buy the one that has dark chocolate chips in it like Betty Crocker Supreme Chocolate Chunk Brownie Mix. 
    • Coconut: use sweetened coconut you find in the baking section of the grocery store. Either shredded or flaked coconut works. 
    • Egg: you'll need one large egg. Beat the egg before adding to the batter. 
    • 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

    Recipe ingredients mixed together in a glass bowl.

    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

    Scoops of dough on a lined baking sheet.

    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.

    ​Change up the flavor and texture of the cookies by adding in: 

    • White chocolate chips
    • Semi-sweet chocolate chips
    • Chopped nuts
    • A tablespoon of espresso powder
