Equipment

  • Food processor
  • baking sheets with silicon liner or parchment paper

Ingredients

  • 4 oz unsweetened chocolate chopped small
  • 14 oz sweetened, flaked coconut
  • cup sugar
  • 6 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp table salt
  • flaked sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°. Line 2 baking sheets with silicone liners or parchment paper.
  • Heat approximately half of chocolate chunks in a small saucepan until just melted. Remove from heat and stir in remaining chocolate chunks. Stir to melt. Set aside.
  • In a food processor fitted with the steel blade, blend the coconut for a full minute. Add sugar and cocoa powder; blend another minute.
  • Add eggwhites, table salt and vanilla and blend until combined. Add the melted chocolate and blend again until smooth and fully combined.
  • Using a scoop or spoon, portion 1" mounds of dough on lined cookie sheets. Cookies can be spaced closely as they don't spread much, just puff up a bit.
  • Bake 15 minutes, until shiny and just set. Immediately after they come out of the oven, sprinkle with flaky sea salt. It doesn't take much, but adds a really nice contrast. Cool completely on the baking sheet. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
