Delicious Homemade Samoas Cookies featuring medjool dates, toasted coconut, and dark chocolate.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pitted medjool dates (approximately 10 dates)
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • ⅓ cup dark chocolate
  • ½ teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  2. Spread the shredded coconut onto a baking sheet, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
  3. Toast the coconut in the oven for 3-5 minutes until it turns a light golden brown, staying close to prevent burning.
  4. Remove the toasted coconut from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  5. Add the medjool dates and toasted coconut to the bowl of a food processor.
  6. Pulse until the mixture combines and starts forming a ball of dough.
  7. Remove the mixture from the food processor and roll tablespoon-sized pieces into balls, shaping them into round cookies.
  8. Use a straw or chopstick to punch a hole in the middle of each cookie, adjusting as necessary.
  9. Place the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and transfer them to the freezer for about 5 minutes.
  10. While the cookies chill, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second increments until smooth.
  11. Dip the bottom of each cookie into the melted chocolate and coat evenly, then place them back on the parchment.
  12. Use the remaining chocolate to drizzle over the tops of the cookies.
  13. Return the cookies to the freezer or fridge for 10-15 minutes to let the chocolate harden.
  14. Once set, remove the cookies from the parchment paper.

Notes

Keep an eye on the coconut while toasting to prevent burning. Customize with chopped nuts or sea salt for added flavor.
