Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups cashew nuts You can use almonds or walnuts as an alternative.
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened coconut flakes Shredded coconut can also be used.
- ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips and/or dark chocolate -- for a vegan recipe, use a vegan chocolate -- other options are a mix of butterscotch chips or peanut butter chips with the chocolate chips but try to keep the ¾ cup measurement as the total.
- ⅔ cup almond flour You can also try gluten-free oat flour!
- 1 cup coconut cream NOT cream of coconut which is also known as Coco Lopez – If you make this healthy version with coconut cream, add one large egg, at room temperature, to this recipe to act as a binder. However, if you prefer to make the old-fashioned version of the magic cookie bar recipe use the same amount of sweetened condensed milk (or for a vegan/dairy-free version, sweetened condensed coconut milk) but skip the egg.
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract Almond extract can be used for a nuttier flavor.
- 5 tablespoon light brown sugar or Swerve brown for a low-carb version – If using either sweetened condensed milk or coconut sweetened condensed milk, skip the sugar.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and reserve.
- In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together very well. TIP: If you adding an egg to this recipe, add the egg to the bowl first, whisk it with the vanilla very well for a few seconds, and then mix in the remaining ingredients with a spatula or wooden spoon until homogeneous. This will prevent your cookies from tasting eggy!
- The mixture will be sticky! Using an ice cream scoop, scoop the cookie mixture onto the lined baking sheet, making sure to keep each about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten their tops with the palm of your hand.
- Bake for 20-28 minutes or until lightly golden brown or top and set. After baking, if the condensed milk has spread, take a spoon and gently push it towards the cookie.
- Transfer the baking sheet to a rack and let the cookies cool for at least 10 minutes: otherwise, they will fall apart. Gently remove them with a metal spatula and enjoy!
