Chocolate Coconut Sandwich Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chocolate Coconut Sandwich Cookies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

2. Step 2

   In a small bowl, mix together flax seed meal and water, then let it sit for about 10 minutes to thicken into a gel-like consistency.

3. Step 3

   Meanwhile, grab a large mixing bowl and whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, rolled oats, and baking soda, setting this dry mixture aside for later.

4. Step 4

   In another large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together 1 cup of Becel® with Oat Beverage margarine and both sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy—this should take around 5 minutes.

5. Step 5

   Once that’s done, add in the flax meal mixture and a splash of vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well combined.

6. Step 6

   Now, it’s time to bring the dry ingredients into the mix; gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until blended.

7. Step 7

   Gently fold in those delicious vegan chocolate chips, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.

8. Step 8

   Using a spoon, drop heaping tablespoonfuls of dough onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

9. Step 9

   This recipe should yield around 48 delightful cookies.

10. Step 10

    Bake them in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are just set—be careful not to overbake, as you want them to stay soft and chewy.

11. Step 11

    Once they’re done, take the baking sheet out of the oven and let the cookies cool on a wire rack for about 5 minutes before transferring them to cool completely.

12. Step 12

    While the cookies are cooling, let’s whip up the creamy filling! In a large bowl, beat together 1/2 cup of Becel® and Violife™ Creamy Original until it’s nice and creamy.

13. Step 13

    Gradually add in the icing sugar, coconut extract, and vanilla extract, beating until the mixture is fluffy and inviting.

14. Step 14

    Stir in some shredded coconut for that extra tropical touch.

15. Step 15

    Once your cookies are completely cool, take one cookie and spread about 2 tablespoons of the luscious coconut cream filling on its flat side.

16. Step 16

    Top it with another cookie, gently pressing down until the filling oozes out to the edges.

17. Step 17

    Repeat this delightful process with the remaining cookies and filling, and soon you’ll have a batch of irresistible cookie sandwiches ready to enjoy!.
