No-Bake 4-ingredient Samoas

Coconut. Dark chocolate. Dates. All the goodness.

I’m guilty of never having purchased girl scout cookies. I think I tried a thin mint here and there, but never a samoa. So I don’t have much of a comparison standard here, but something tells me this 4-ingredient version is still a winner. Usually when you hear people talk about their love for girl scout cookies, they talk about how they just keep eating them over and over. Well, here’s a cookie you can feel good about doing that with!

The Rundown

This one is inspired by eatingbirdfood.com, but this is my second time making it so I adjusted it a little bit, mainly with the way I prepare the coconut and the date variety I used. I found the noor deglet dates to hold together with the coconut better than the medjool dates I used the first time I made this!

The ingredients: shredded coconut, dates, coconut oil, dark chocolate

Servings 12 cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 cup noor deglet dates sub medjool dates
  • 1/2 tsp coconut oil
  • ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Toast coconut in a small saucepan over medium heat until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Watch over it and mix frequently to make sure it doesn't burn!
  • Cool coconut and then process with dates.
  • On wax or parchment paper on a cookie sheet, spoon 1 tbsp of the coconut-date mixture and flatten to form your cookie shape. Freeze for 20-30 minutes.
  • Melt dark chocolate and coconut oil together in the microwave, around 1 minute.
  • Dip bottom of each cookie in the chocolate and set on the wax or parchment paper.
  • Add the rest of the melted chocolate to a ziploc, cut a tiny hole at one corner, and drizzle the chocolate on top of the cookies.
  • Freeze for at least 15 minutes, but I personally like them more after freezing overnight!
