coconut choc-chip cookie tray bake brownie thingy…

2 December 2011 by Dominic Franks

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

1 cup plain flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp fine sea salt
1 cup dark chocolate chips (I used a roughly chopped bar of dark chocolate)
1 cup dessicated coconut 

– preheat oven to 350°F
– lightly grease a 8×8″ baking tray (although I used a 20cm round cake tin cos i’m like that..)
– gently melt the butter in the microwave and then add it to the sugar in a large bowl and mix together.
– add the egg and the vanilla and mix again
– sieve the flour, baking powder and salt into the mixture and stir until fully combined.
– flop it into a baking tray, smooth it out and bake for 20-25 minutes.  
cool on a rack and eat whilst its just a little warm…
… eat and of course, enjoy!

    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!

    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!

    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.
