Crispy Coconut Cookies With Chocolate Drizzle

Filed Under: Cookie Recipes

Jump to Recipe

Crispy, buttery and full of coconut flavor, these crispy coconut cookies with chocolate drizzle are truly delicious and a recipe that you’ll find yourself coming back to time and again!

My husband works with the 13-15 year old boys in our church youth group. They arranged to make treat platters for to give to their moms for Mother’s Day this year and each boy was assigned to bring a plate of treats to split up for the platters. Aaron was busy the night before making mint chocolate chip cookies and did a great job! My husband was worried that not all boys would have the opportunity to make treats so he asked if I would be willing to make a batch of cookies for the activity so that there would be plenty to go around. WOULD I? Baking cookies is just about my favorite thing to do.

I created these crispy coconut cookies with all of those sweet moms in mind. Okay, okay, I created them with myself in mind. After all, I would be receiving one of the treat platters!  Coconut cookies are one of my FAVORITE cookies and adding chocolate made them even better. I like adding a teaspoon of coconut extract to really bring out the coconut flavor, but you don’t have to.

How many crispy coconut cookies will this recipe make?

This recipe yields 36 (3 dozen) coconut cookies and can easily be doubled or halved.

Can you freeze coconut cookies?

You can absolutely freeze these cookies. Make the cookies ahead of time and freeze before adding the chocolate. Drizzle with chocolate the day you’d like to serve them.

What are other recipes that would be perfect for treat platters?

White Chocolate Spiced Cookies: White chocolate Snickerdoodles and ginger snaps, and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. The perfect spiced cookie platter for the holidays!

Chocolate Peppermint Cookies: Chocolate cookies with chocolate chunks, white chocolate, and peppermint. The perfect combination for the perfect Christmas cookie.

White Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffles: Crunchy peanut butter, rice krispies cereal, and white chocolate combine to create a decadent peanut butter truffle.

Samoas Bars: Everything you love about Samoas cookies wrapped up in a delicious cookie bar!

Irresistible Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies: Soft and chewy, even after a couple of days, these peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are simply irresistible!

Like I said before, these cookies are perfect on their own (my husband likes them without the chocolate), but I’m not sure that I can go back to eating them without chocolate now that I’ve tasted the other side. And it’s super easy to do! Fill a ziploc quart sized freezer bag with melted chocolate and make a small snip in the corner. Then drizzle over the cookies and let the cookies set up!

What kind of chocolate is best for drizzling over cookies?

You can use melted chocolate chips, but I like using the Ghirardelli melting wafers that you can find at your local grocery store in the baking section. They set up quicker.

Most of the time recipes say to NOT over bake cookies. That is not the case with these. If you want crispy cookies make sure to bake until the edges are golden! They really are better and full of a toasted coconut flavor when you do this, trust me!

    Hi, I have a question please. I must’ve done something wrong, I reviewed recipe several times: yep: ingredients all correct. I checked them at 10 mins: too done. Then tried 8/9 minutes: not done in the center. They all came out pretty flat…
    I retraced my steps, can’t figure out my mistake. Any thoughts? The cookie dough tasted delicious! Cookies taste good too. Just look flat/ oily. So want to figure this out and try again. Thanks so much!

      Hi! That is strange! I went back to see if this was one made with butter or shortening. Because sometimes different brands of shortening (store brands work better than name brands) can make a difference. I’ve made these without issues. Do you use dark or light colored baking sheets? I use light colored and they seem to cook evenly and not get over-done. If you use light ones as well I’m not sure what’s going to cause them to go from under-done to over-done so quickly!

This kid knows a good thing when he sees it. Anyti This kid knows a good thing when he sees it. Anytime my camera and tripod go up, he’s right there waiting. Today we made our favorite green smoothie. It’s all about balance—-just kidding. We all know that’s a lie. I have like 10 healthy recipes on my site and 800 breads and desserts. 😂

Tip: when buying produce, buy extra to freeze. I buy an extra pineapple, an extra package of grapes, an extra bunch of bananas and an extra bag of spinach and freeze them for smoothies. I slice everything up and freeze it on baking sheets then bag it up. It makes it easy to grab a handful to toss into a blender. You can freeze entire bags of spinach too and add a handful to smoothies. I always blend my spinach and water first then add the rest of the fruit. No little spinach chunks in the smoothie that way. 🙌🏻

Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Sant Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Santa (although the Santa who comes to our house prefers sugar cookies. He can share these with Mrs. Claus). Ruby has them all picked out—-gingerbread boys, gingerbread girls, and ninja-bread cookies. Should be fun. Had to go out and get more molasses and it wasn’t easy to find! Everyone else must be making gingerbread, too!

Gnomes and llamas made their way to our Christmas Gnomes and llamas made their way to our Christmas cookies this year and I’m wondering why we didn’t use them before! So cute ($1 at Target). My 9 year old decorated most of the cookies that you see in this photo. I taught her how to use a piping bag, a star tip, and a round tip last year and she hit the ground running. Check out our stories for 6 cookie tutorials for kids using the same frosting tips!
