I generally prefer homemade treats. But lately, I can't seem to stay away from the dark chocolate/coconut/sweet potato cookies at
Watercourse and
City o City ($3.24).
What do they taste like? The cookies remind me of a giant, vegan, gluten-free Samoa. At room temperature, the consistency is nice and chewy; the texture becomes addictively-crisp after they've been refrigerated for a half-hour or so. The little bits of sweet potato make me feel virtuous, although if I gobble up an entire cookie in one sitting, I get the same sugar rush that I would get from traditional sweets. While slightly messy, the dark chocolate coating is a good compliment to the coconut (and nuts?) inside.

Even though we're out of the throes of fall and all the sweet potato dishes that come with it, your description is making me crave them anyway :)
ReplyDeleteI know that it's probably not sweet potato season, but it IS Girl Scout cookie season, and I think these have tapped into that for me - a giant, vegan, gluten free scout cookie.
ReplyDeleteoooh, that cookie looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteHas anyone tried to make these at home and come up with a recipe to share?
ReplyDelete@ anonymous -- I have not tried to make these at home, although I would love to hear from someone who had.
ReplyDeleteI did make some
homemade truffles with sweet potato, chocolate, coconut, and pecans, which had similar components, but a very different texture/consistency.
YUM, these look so good, I feel like I need to try and make something simialr at home...
