choc coconut bliss cookies


 I made these cookies yesterday as a little treat to take away with us on holidays.
I adapted this recipe for the island bliss cookies which I also made and froze to take away. I was going to make another batch but then thought if I took out the citrus zest and put in cocoa it would make a nice chocolaty treat.
You could almost call it a lamington biscuit- perfect for Australia Day!

Chocolate Bliss Cookies
2 C dessicated coconut
1/2 C almond meal
scant 1/2 C rice malt syrup
2 eggs
1 1/2 t vanilla
2 heaped T of cacao or cocoa powder

Mix all ingredients together
Roll into balls and press down
Bake at 180C for 10-15 minutes
Cool on tray for 5 minutes before cooling on rack

I made some more today to take to an Australia Day BBQ and iced them with a little chocolate ganache and sprinkled the top with coconut
