These gems are thick and chewy and all that with simple ingredients that you most likely already have on hand.

Just toasting coconut by itself makes me happy. It means I am about to make something fantastic. Add chopped dark chocolate, that I could eat it by handfuls anyways, and whatever you put this combo in – it will rock your world.

Like cookies. A simple treat (it’s safe to say that it’s the most often made baked good) and you will have people of all ages asking for them.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter for 30 seconds.
  3. Add all sugars and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Add egg and both extracts and mix in well.
  5. Add the dry ingredients and mix in until just incorporated.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chunks.
  7. The dough will be crumbly, that's okay.

  9. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  10. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  11. Scoop two tablespoons of dough per cookie and roll in your hands into a smooth ball.
  12. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each.
  13. Bake the cookies for 9 to 11 minutes. Cool on a sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer onto a cooling rack.
Recipe Notes

To toast the coconut: Place the coconut in a cast iron skillet and taste over a medium heat until fragrant and lightly browned. Keep an eye on it. You can toast the coconut in an oven, if you have experience with it - however I recommend the stove top method as it's easier to keep an eye on.

Few notes on the recipe:

– you can skip the dark brown sugar and use just the light brown sugar. I used the dark and light combination to add richness to the dough.

– the dough will be crumbly after mixing; that’s okay. You will form the dough balls before baking. The cookies will be thick and won’t spread much. I flattened the cookie dough balls slightly into disk before baking. You can also add additional chocolate chunks or arrange them according to your visual preferences.

– chilling the dough makes for thicker cookies; it also helps the flavors to mingle.

  13. Anna I think you are a genius! Since these tempting, delicious cookies are termed “sexy”, now as any good Mama would do, I’ll test them out first to make sure they are age appropriate for my son. And test…and test…. It would be my duty to keep these to myself, right? 🙂
