But if you do, these cookies are for you.
I’ve always liked Mounds Bars (or Bounty Bars) and have recipes for Mounds Bar Chocolate Coconut Cookies and Mounds Bar Brownies. You can never have too many Mounds recipes. The cookies are pillowy soft in the interior, slightly chewy at the edges, and are loaded with chocolate chunks and hunks of Mounds Bars.
I adapted my favorite recipe for chocolate chip cookies. I replaced half the chocolate chips with chocolate chunks, added Mounds pieces, and instead of using vanilla extract, I used coconut extract. The recipe uses butter but if you’d like to use coconut oil to really amplify the coconut flavor profile, adapt this recipe and use 3/4 cup melted coconut oil rather than 3/4 cup butter. Coconut extract is inexpensive and sold near the other baking extracts. It lends so much bold coconut flavor without having to add shredded coconut, which can be almost too much texture at times.
The cookies are melt-in-your-mouth soft thanks to instant vanilla pudding mix. I swear by it for Softbatch-style results. I’ve jumped on the pudding cookie train and have no plans of getting off. If you can find coconut pudding mix, it would be amazing here. If you don’t have pudding mix, using 2 teaspoons of cornstarch is a close approximation to pudding mix, but not the exact same.
The loads of dark chocolate chunks really complement the coconut flavor and the chewy, texture-filled pieces of Mounds are welcome little surprises when you bite into one. These big, thick, bakery-style cookies lasted precisely one day here.
