Triple Chocolate Coconut Cookies

Sometimes you just have a hankering for a big cookie packed with all kinds of good stuff. Those kinds of cravings generally lead to cookies like these.

These beauties are, first of all, a big chocolate cookie made with dark chocolate cocoa powder. Then, they’re thoroughly plied with plenty of coconut, two kinds of chocolate chips, and nuts.

Triple Chocolate Coconut Cookies are big, thick cookies packed with lots of coconut, three kinds of chocolate, and nuts. Delicious!

I made these cookies a bit larger than I usually do for big, thick cookies. It seemed they were just begging to be made into big, sturdy cookies. If you have a cookie or ice cream scoop, it will help tremendously. I used a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to make quick, consistent work of scooping the cookie dough.

Perhaps my favorite thing about these cookies is that there is so much good stuff in them that you’re guaranteed a delicious flavor combination in every bite. You may think it’s add-in overload when you’re mixing the dough, but you’ll be so glad you put so much extra goodness into these wonderfully delicious cookies.

  1. Sound delicious:). Lots of some favorite ingredients!

  2. This recipe looks scrumptious. However, hubby will not eat coconut. If I omit it, will I need to add something else for moisture? Thanks!

    • Hi, Sheri. My husband won’t eat coconut either. I think you’d be fine substituting more nuts or chocolate chips. You can add another tablespoon or two of brown sugar for some moisture.
