Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded coconut
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup whole almonds
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the shredded coconut, milk chocolate chips, and whole almonds until evenly distributed.
  2. Melt Peanut Butter Mixture: Place the peanut butter and honey in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 to 45 seconds until fully melted and smooth.
  3. Add Flavorings: Stir the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt into the melted peanut butter and honey mixture to enhance the flavor balance.
  4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the peanut butter mixture over the coconut, chocolate, and almonds. Stir thoroughly to ensure every ingredient is well coated and begins to bind together.
  5. Form Cookies: Using a spoon, scoop small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls or drop them by spoonfuls onto a parchment-lined tray for shaping.
  6. Refrigerate to Set: Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the cookies to firm up completely.
  7. Serve: Once set, remove the cookies from the fridge and enjoy this no-bake, chewy, and nutty snack.

Notes

  • For a different flavor, try substituting the milk chocolate chips with dark or white chocolate chips.
  • To make these cookies vegan, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them firm and fresh for up to one week.
  • Chop almonds if you prefer smaller nut pieces mixed throughout the cookies for easier eating.
  • These cookies can be frozen for up to a month; thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
