Divine Coconut-PB-Choc Chip Cookies
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon egg replacer
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup coconut
*soymilk as needed
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Stir sugar and peanut butter together.
Mix egg replacer with a splash of soymilk and vanilla and add to sugar-peanut butter mix.
Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl and then add to wet ingredients. If mixture is too dry, add soymilk until moist.
Place coconut on a plate. Form dough into balls and roll in coconut. Push a few chocolate chips into the top of the cookies and place on oiled baking sheet.
Bake 10-12 minutes.
TIP: Chocolate chips can be stirred into the dough, but I found that pushing them into the cookies as I place them on the baking sheet was easier. Not only did it make distribution more even, I was able to avoid dozens of chocolate chips abandoned at the bottom of the dough bowl.
SO HOW'D IT GO?
I got asked "No eggs...100% vegan... Really?" So I guess they were pretty good-- soft and fluffy. Anyway, I used half brown sugar and half regular, I was low on the regular stuff. I added some almond milk to help bind everything together and threw the chocolate chips in dough. The dough is pretty divine on it's own. :)
these were quite tasty, but i don't get the separate chocolate chip and coconut steps. my dough was extremely sticky and was more on my fingers than in a little ball, so i decided to mix the chocolate chips and coconut in with the batter. it just didn't seem necessary to me to segregate those lovelies and add more work to the agenda.
i subbed spelt flour and thought it tasted good here; i had to add more soymilk plus a tad of oil, too. dough was way sticky. but very, very good!
oh, and i had them the next day but didn't encounter any texture changes. maybe uhblondie's 'fridge experiment changed their longevity. or maybe i got lucky!
amazing. everyone ate these like crazy. i :)>>>will make again!
I made these and they are so gooood.
I got my Grandma to eat one, and after, she goes, "You proved to me you can cook, so I will give you 40 Euros." Hahah.
Can I have your Grandma?! That's Awesome!!!

Okay, so I was a little undecided how to rate the recipe, but I decided on 4 stars. They were very good the first day, and one of my guests ate like 10 of them!! But the next day they were just hard and downright not good (and I love desserts of all kinds, so that is saying something). Maybe it is because my boyfriend put them in the fridge, but even after thawing they weren't any better. I might try them again at some point since they have so much potential, so we'll see...
I'm baking my first batch now and they seem so decadent. I wonder how they would be if I omitted the sugar or cut it down somehow? The peanut butter has sugar and I accidentally bought sweetened coconut. That's a lot of sugar. I guess I'll "suffer" through these sweeties before I experiment. :)
Oh WOW! These were YUMMY! I love the fact that there is no oil or margarine. They are so moist and absolutely delicious! Thanks for the great recipe!
These are the most fabulous cookies! I love pb-coconut combo and just HAD to try these, except I subtracted the chocolate from the mix because I wanted to experience the whole pb-coconut fantasticness! I used spelt/brown rice flour combo and added 1 tsp oil to be saf - verrrrrrrryyyy good cookie texture!
p.s. Notaveggy_111 - Shredded unsweetened dried coconut works best in this recipe if you ask me!
Do I use dried coconut flakes, or real coconut meat? ???
