So my husband thinks I have a serious problem…
…every time I have a recipe idea, I add it to a list.
This said list has about 24 ideas on it…
and that is just the Iphone list.
(I have a notebook that has another food list;-)
This list is what caused my husband to think I am nuts.
Please reassure me and tell me that you have crazy lists too.
Maybe they aren’t lists full of sugary laden treats like mine,
but I would love to know I am not the only one
with a crazy list that is never ending.
Happy day! I got to cross one of the items off the list:-)
Sadly I added about 4 more over the weekend.
What I can I say?
Got sugar.
On the brain that is.
Back to crossing one off the list.
Last summer my husband and I had the opportunity
to go to St. Maarten for a week without our kids.
Best vacation spot EVAH!!!!
We are definitely going back with the kids sometime.
For breakfast one day I had Coconut Nutella crepes.
So you can guess what I added to my list…
coconut nutella something.
I knew I wanted to make something
with those two flavors paired together.
But it also had to be just the right recipe.
These cookies…
they were the right choice for this combination.
Just enough coconut, plenty of chocolatey Nutella.
Took me right back to the beach…
which in winter is where I really want to be.
Soft coconut cookies with a hidden Nutella pocket
Ingredients
1/2 c. shortening
1/2 c. brown sugar, packed
6 Tbsp. sugar
1 egg
1/4 c. milk
1/2 tsp. coconut extract
1 1/2 c. flour + 2 Tbsp.
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. shredded coconut
1/2 c. Nutella
1/2 c. white chocolate chips
sprinkles
Instructions
- Cream shortening and sugars in a large mixing bowl. Add the egg, milk, and extract and beat well until creamy. Slowly add the baking soda, salt, and flour. Stir in the coconut.
- Roll the dough into 1 inch balls and set on wax paper. Make an indentation in the center of each ball. Fill with nutella. Cover the nutella with a small flattened piece of cookie dough. Seal the edges and roll into a ball again. (the dough is very sticky)
- Place the dough balls onto an ungreased baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake at 375* for 9-10 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
- Melt white chocolate chips in microwave safe bowl. Spoon into a plastic baggie and cut the tip off. Drizzle cookies with chocolate and add sprinkles. Keep in a sealed container for best taste.

Do yourself a favor and make some for your favorite somebody…
or just make them for yourself to enjoy while the kids are in school.
It’s ok. I won’t tell:-)

Sounds like heaven to me!
Oh my goodness girl, they look fabulous. And of course I’m a list maker. I mean, duh, we’re like twins and all. I have a notebook of “ideas.” Then I have another one of recipes I have written but haven’t made yet. Then I have about one million post-it notes all over the desk of more ideas that haven’t made it to said notebook yet. Ugh.
Finally, your pictures are gorgeous. LOVE them!!
Oh, and congrats on the FoodBuzz
These cookies look fabulous!!!
Yum, yum, yum! These sound soo good!
Wowee, Jocelyn, these look phenomenal! I’m not the craziest for Nutella but I love me some coconut like no other. I especially love your V-Day sprinkly touch
And no fear–I also have a (very extensive) list of “Things I’d Like To Bake” where I continually add about a bajillion things a week yet only make about 2 off the list. I don’t think it’s crazy–we’re just organized and motivated to spread the sugary love!
I, too, have SO many things on my list and am adding all the time. One of them is actually a Nutella cookie similar to this one! These look SO good. Must make!
Those look really yummy. I also have lists of recipe ideas
I have one on my bulletin board so I can write ideas as I think of them and multiple files by category on my computer of “recipes I want to make”. Lists are so great 
Pinned this to my Nutella board. (Pretty sad that I have an entire board dedicated to Nutella, huh? LOL)
You have to bring these to Foodie Friday this week. They are gorgeous!
These look great. Don’t worry – you have no problem. We are all the same
Huge “to bake” list here. I add to it at an exponential rate!
These will be my Valentine cookie to make for everyone ! I adore Nutella ( just ate some Right out of the jar) .
You’re not crazy! I also have a list! But you must get through your list much faster than me because you’re always posting new goodies. I hardly ever have time to cross off anything!
these are spectacular!!!
oh yum!

So how many cookies do you get with this coconut nutella recipe?
If I remember right, it was about 36 cookies.
I saw these on Google Plus and had to come over to pin and make eventually. I’m not sure what’s longer – my list of recipe ideas or my list of recipes from others to try! I write my ideas in a planner, on my iphone, and sometimes random pieces of paper at work (when I can’t be on my phone). Love chocolate and coconut, so I know these will be a hit.

I hear you on the lists. With all the blogs I read, my list of “want to try” keeps getting longer too! I’m glad I’m not the only one with lists every where
I hope you enjoy the cookies when you try them!
My partner is a coeliac so I am going to try to make this with coconut flour (having never used it before)
Fingers crossed…
