the urge overtook me last night for something desperately sweet… it may have been this self-imposed, pre-christmas diet i’m pretending to be on… or it could have been the coconut and rum triple layer wedding cake I made at the weekend that I keep having to stare at but not able to eat…
… so I thought i’d rustle up some cookies… fast and simple… with whatever ingredients I could find in the cupboard… and of course I had some left-over dessicated coconut from said triple layer cake and I also had some very smooth Montezuma’s dark chocolate and the combo was calling to me… annoyingly, trawling my recipe books I could only find coconut macaroon recipes or cookies with rolled oats in them… rolled oats is something i’ve never had in my cupboard… so I trawled the internet and found an American recipe for this interesting tray bake thingy… so I apologise for the cups measurements… although it made me feel very ‘Martha Stewart’ and was very very quick to knock together…
coconut choc-chip cookie tray bake brownie thingy
the recipe calls for a square tin but I used a round cake tin, which isn’t so bad as it looks like one giant cookie…
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
1 egg
Wow, shades of Willy Wonka . . . I love it!
Sounds good!
Have a nice w/end
ooh this looks nice and crunchy on the outside and chewy and moist inside…and sounds easy to make…mmm…
How I love choc & coconut together. Love the idea of this and I always seem to have a packet of dessicated coconut lurking in the cupboard too!
This looks delicious, whatever shape it is!
Your round version is fab – you get to have whopping great slices of it. Good move cos it sounds delicious. My supposed diet, that never really got off the ground in the first place, seems to have faltered too!
Ohh, a giant chocolate and coconut cookie? I like. Very much.
A GIANT tasty thingy ~ excellent Dom and stuffed full of delicious things! I LIKE round by the way……there are no sides then!!

haha you can just call it a giant coconut choc chip cookie. that definitely looks like one yummy treat to spoil your diet for 😉
Looks great and I love the round shape. I do like using up leftovers. Great name for your bake too 🙂
My 'cup' measures are in storage but I so want to make this 'thingy'! I think one of the measuring jugs has cup measures on hmmm…Sounds gorgeous and looks good too!
yummmmoooooo!!!! and nothing wrong with cup measurements!! 🙂
Loving your tray bake brownie thingy Dom! 😀
I actually enjoy using cup measurements! The only thing that slightly annoys me are the weird butter measurements in some recipes…,
Looks great, and lots of lovely flavours. Sometimes only something sweet and quick will satisfy the urge…
'thingy' definitely ought to be in the dictionary if it isn't already; it's just so perfectly descriptive 🙂
Self-imposed pre-Christmas diet? Sounds like a nightmare! This is much, much better 😀
looks lovely Dom. I love coconut and chocolate and always end up eating all the bounties during Christmas because no one else really like them.
Beautiful giant cookie/brownie. Yum.
Looks great and delicious
