When I think of my childhood it comes to my mind to go to my father’s restaurant, to the pastry and desserts part, or to the kitchen, and to devour dozens of coconut cookies with chocolate chunks, it is the most pleasant memory I have of that time
Crunchy cookies filled with ganache, this is my way of
The cookies are made with oat flour, which is homemade, you only need instant or rolled oats, and a blender or food processor, and it will only take you 2 minutes to process the oats to obtain the flour, and it is much cheaper than buying it in a market.
A cup of shredded coconut, a bit of cornstarch to make the cookies lighter and a few ingredients more than you already have in your kitchen complete the recipe for the cookie dough, which after 5 minutes in the refrigerator and cut them are ready to bake. They are baked just in a few minutes, and the aroma that they give off is very tempting, enough to burn your mouth with them when they barely come out of the oven, yes, it happened to me with the first 5 cookies that I ate haha.
After we let the cookies cool it’s time for the ganache, super simple, only 2 ingredients, good quality dark chocolate and a few spoonfuls of milk of your choice, can be vegetable milk. Melt the choc, mix it with the milk and with the help of a pastry sleeve fill the cookies, cookie, chocolate, cookie and to the refrigerator for a few minutes to take consistency.
These recipes can be vegan by replacing the eggs with a vegan replacement (see the notes to see which ones I use) and using vegetable milk.
For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free oatmeal. Surely you get it at a store specializing in celiac products.
