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! They’re simple, made with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry, and are incredibly satisfying. Serve with an ice cold glass of milk, and you’ll have a tasty treat fit for any time of day! We promise, you’ll love them!
Four Ingredient Cookies
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!
Tips for the Best Graham Cracker Cookies
You could change up a few of the ingredients too! Switch out the chocolate chips for butterscotch chips or peanut butter chips. Try drizzling a thin layer of glaze of the tops for an extra sweetness. To get a glaze, simply stir a little powdered sugar and milk together until there are no lumps. Serve hot right out of the oven, or chilled from the fridge.To store, keep them covered on the counter or in the refrigerator. They’ll stay nice and fresh for a couple of days. But they never last that long at my house!

My 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).
Stacey says
do you have a nutrition count for these? Thanks!
Daphne says
Yes, do you have the calorie count? Look delish!
Emily says
I will have to try and plug it in and figure it out!
Emily says
I figured if you made 24 cookies, it would be about 100 calories per cookie.
Claire Harper says
Wow, 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!

These look delicious!
What are the ounces in the can of Condensed Milk you are using in the recipe?
I did not see that listed.
And would so love to make these!!!

We usually use the 12 oz can but you would be fine using the 14 oz. Hope this helps!

Can you use graham cracker crumbs as opposed to crushing graham crackers?
Favorite Family Recipes says
Absolutely! That would be much easier 🙂
Aileen says
What’s the volume of a regular can of condensed milk? Haha I live in a place where we use metric measurements…
Favorite Family Recipes says
A can of condensed milk is about 14 oz. (396g) Hope this helps!

Sorry 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…
