Serves:15 cookies

Ingredients

• 1½ cups coconut sugar
• ½ cup coconut oil
• ½ cup coconut milk
• 2 Teaspoons vanilla extract
• ¼ Teaspoon sea salt
• 2½ cups finely shredded coconut
• 1 cup big flake coconut
• ⅔ cup dark chocolate chunks or chocolate chips (I used 80% dark chocolate)
• Optional: ½ cup almond or cashew butter
• 
  

Instructions

1. In a large saucepan, combine the coconut sugar, coconut oil, and coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a boil, and boil for 2-3 minutes until the caramel thickens, stirring constantly to keep the caramel from sticking.
2. Remove the caramel from the heat and add the vanilla, sea salt, and coconut. Stir to combine. If you’re using the almond or cashew butter, mix it in thoroughly. Finally, add the chocolate chunks and combine, stirring as little as possible to keep the chunks intact.
3. Portion the cookie on a parchment lined baking sheet and let cool. This version of no-bakes takes a full 3-4 hours to fully set up, but you don’t have to wait that long because they’re really good warm and gooey.

Notes

To keep this recipe 100% dairy free and vegan, be sure to use a chocolate that is dairy free.
