Chocolate Coconut Cookies are indulgent, fudgy, and packed with cocoa, sweet coconut, and chocolate chips. They’re quick to make, don’t require a mixer, and offer a perfect balance of chewy and crispy textures.

Ingredients

4 tablespoons (57 grams) unsalted butter

4 ounces (113 grams) semisweet chocolate, finely chopped

1/2 cup (100 grams) light brown sugar

1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar

1 large egg, at room temperature

1 large egg yolk, at room temperature

1 tablespoon milk (any kind)

1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract (optional)

1 1/4 cups (159 grams) all-purpose flour

1/4 cup (21 grams) Dutch-process cocoa powder, sifted

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

1/2 cup (85 grams) semisweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup (85 grams) white chocolate chips

3/4 cup (64 grams) sweetened flaked coconut, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chopped semisweet chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Stir in the brown and granulated sugars. Let cool slightly.
  3. Mix in the egg, egg yolk, milk, and coconut extract if using.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sifted cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. The dough will be thick and sticky.
  6. Fold in the semisweet and white chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup of the flaked coconut.
  7. Using a medium cookie scoop, portion the dough into 1 1/2-tablespoon rounds and place on prepared sheets. Flatten slightly and top with remaining coconut.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are set. Cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Add dark or milk chocolate chunks for extra richness.

Mix in chopped nuts like macadamia or pecans for crunch.

Try a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder for flavor depth.

Use a smaller scoop for mini cookies and reduce baking time slightly.
