Graham Cracker Cookies with coconut and chocolate taste like Samoas Girl Scout Cookies, but with a fraction of the calories. And with only four ingredients, these treats come together in a snap!
Graham Cracker Cookies with Coconut
These Graham Cracker Cookies are a delicious and easy cookie to make when you just need something sweet but don’t want to derail your diet. They remind us so much of the popular Girl Scout Samoas, with sweet coconut and a hint of chocolate. They’re the perfect little treat to make with your kids and are such a yummy after school snack. You’ve gotta love cookies that you can make with just a few simple ingredients. We actually made these cookies for a news show in Utah and everyone went crazy over them! We promise, you’ll love them too!
Easy to Make
All you need for these scrumptious snacks are four simple ingredients: graham crackers, a can of sweetened condensed milk (we use fat free and it works great), some semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut. Simply mix together the first three ingredients and form into balls. Roll the balls into the coconut, flatten out just a little bit using the bottom of a glass or a spoon, and bake. The coconut toasts up beautifully and the chocolate melts just enough to make a gooey, yummy cookie!

September 21, 2011 at 1:08 amMy two year old loved helping roll the cookies in coconut and smoosh them. He loved the cookie dough as well as the cookies (so did I).

March 17, 2012 at 8:05 pmI will have to try and plug it in and figure it out!

March 27, 2012 at 1:10 pmI figured if you made 24 cookies, it would be about 100 calories per cookie.

May 11, 2012 at 5:59 pmWow, yummy! I decided to blend up some oatmeal to throw in with the graham cracker crumbs because I just love that flavor and…maybe now it can be my excuse for eating them for breakfast 😉 okay not every day – thanks for the recipe!

February 29, 2016 at 4:08 pmMy grandmother used this recipe without the coconut (using full calorie ingredients) to make bars – a family favorite!

Becky says

Judy says
March 7, 2018 at 5:33 pmCan you use graham cracker crumbs as opposed to crushing graham crackers?
Favorite Family Recipes says
March 14, 2018 at 10:00 amAbsolutely! That would be much easier 🙂

August 16, 2018 at 2:39 pmI found that they were very dry. There is a really good recipe on the back of a Graham cracker box and it’s called magic cookie bars and they were so good. I think perhaps I will go back to that recipe
Favorite Family Recipes says
August 22, 2018 at 10:04 amSorry this didn’t work out for you. They definitely shouldn’t be coming out dry. I will look over the recipe and try to figure out what could have gone wrong…
