These no-bake Samoas cookies offer a healthier twist on the classic Girl Scout treat. With just three simple ingredients, they’re quick to make and pack all the delicious coconut flavor and chocolatey goodness you crave, minus the flour, eggs, butter, or oil. Ideal for satisfying your sweet tooth without the guilt, these cookies are a great addition to your healthy snack options.
Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups Medjool dates (pitted and halved)
- 1.5 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
Instructions:
- Prepare the dates: If the dates are soft and moist, you can use them as is. If they’re a bit dry, soak them in hot water for 15 minutes, drain, and pat dry. Then, blend the dates in a food processor until they form a smooth paste (small flecks are fine).
- Toast the coconut: Heat a nonstick pan to medium and add the shredded coconut. Stir continuously until it turns golden brown, reducing heat once it begins to brown to avoid burning. This will add a delicious, toasted flavor to your cookies.
- Mix ingredients: Add the toasted coconut to the date paste in the food processor and pulse to combine. The mixture should be sticky and easy to scoop.
- Shape the cookies: Using a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop, release the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten each scoop into a round, 2.25-inch circle, and use your finger to make a small hole in the center.
- Chill: Place the cookies in the freezer for 30-60 minutes until solid.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate in 15-30 second intervals, stirring in between. If you want a thinner coating, add a teaspoon or two of melted coconut oil.
- Dip and drizzle: Once the cookies are set, dip the bottom of each cookie in the melted chocolate and place them back on the baking sheet. Drizzle extra chocolate on top for that classic Samoas look.
- Final chill: Place the cookies back in the fridge or freezer until the chocolate is set. Once solid, store in the fridge or freezer for a delicious, healthier treat.
These cookies offer the chewy, caramel-like texture from the dates and the satisfying crunch from the toasted coconut, all topped off with a crisp layer of dark chocolate. Enjoy a healthier alternative to your favorite Girl Scout cookie!
