Chocolate Island Hawaiian Cookies
Chocolate Island Hawaiian Cookies are made with healthier ingredients while still satisfying your dessert cravings and sweet tooth.
- 1 cup dairy free butter
- 1 ½ cups shredded coconut
- ½ cup macadamia nuts, chopped
- ⅓ cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups whole wheat pastry flour
- ¼ cup almond flour
- 1 cup chocolate of your choice to melt for the topping, I used semi sweet Chocolate Chips
In a large mixing bowl add the butter and sugar.
With a hand or stand mixer beat until it is light and fluffy. That takes about 5-10 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and blend. Mix in the flour.
Stir in the coconut and macadamia nuts and mix in by hand.
Form into a 2" diameter roll. Roll up in waxed paper and refrigerate until firm. About 1 hour.
Take out of the fridge and slice in about ¼" to ½" thick slices as seen in the photo below.
Place on a Baking Sheet and bake at 300• for 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
Melt you chocolate in the microwave just until it is melted not bubbling. It burns so be careful.
If you don't have any piping bags - scoop the chocolate into a baggie and squish down into one corner. Snip the tiniest snip at the point and pipe circles on the top of each cookie.
