You know, the soft and chewy coconut, graham crackers, and chocolate chip bars that are essentially the lovechild of an Almond Joy and s\u2019mores. Well, these magic cookies are basically that, but in cookie form. Sounds magical, right?<\/p>\n<p>So, how to make &#8217;em. According to Modic, it\u2019s simple: All you have to do is combine cashews, unsweetened coconut flakes, chocolate chips, crushed graham crackers, and coconut condensed milk in a bowl and mix until fully combined. Then, you simply form cookies (this recipe yields about eight giant cookies) and bake them on a parchment-lined baking sheet until golden brown. Pro tip: Make sure you leave room between them, as these cookies have a tendency to spread as they bake. (Yeah, they\u2019re <em>that<\/em> gooey and delicious.)<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline pr-6 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/magic-cookies-recipe\/\" current-title=\"These 5-Ingredient Coconut Cashew \u2018Magic Cookies\u2019 Are Packed With Plant-Based Protein\" current-image=\"magic-cookies-425x285.jpg\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2023-02-16\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/magic-cookies-recipe\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/magic-cookies-recipe\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/magic-cookies-recipe\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The only catch? While resisting the urge to delve into the cookies right away while they\u2019re gooey and hot will be next to impossible, Modic says it\u2019s imperative in order to ensure the recipe is a success. (I repeat: Don\u2019t. Touch. The. Cookies!)<\/p>\n<p>After just 10 short minutes, the cookies will have hardened and are safe to handle without risking falling apart. See\u2026 a little patience (and magic!) goes a long way.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What makes these cookies so darn magical\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>First things first: Who doesn\u2019t love an easy cookie recipe that <em>doesn\u2019t<\/em> require lugging out (and dusting off) the KitchenAid stand mixer? Bonus points: This recipe *also* doesn\u2019t call for the creaming of butter and sugar either. In fact, these magic cookies feature new of the traditional cookie ingredients you\u2019re familiar with\u2014no eggs, flour, butter, baking soda\u2014yet somehow, the end result is a delicious cookie packed with loads of protein, fun, and flavor.<\/p>\n<p>But what\u2019s far more impressive about this recipe is that all five ingredients offer some sort of benefit. Take <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/what-nuts-are-healthy\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/what-nuts-are-healthy\/\">cashews<\/a>, for example. For every 100-gram serving of cashews, you\u2019ll find that they have a whopping <a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/170571\/nutrients\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/170571\/nutrients\">15 (!) grams of protein<\/a>. They\u2019re also deemed one of the best types of nuts for bone and skin health, as cashews are a potent source of copper, a key nutrient in maintaining collagen and elastin\u2014two highly important components of the skin and bones. (One ounce of cashews contains <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/309369\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/309369\">622 micrograms of copper<\/a>, aka about 70 percent of the recommended daily intake for adults.) Research shows that copper deficiencies can lead to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6034109\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6034109\/\">low bone density and a higher risk for osteoporosis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a 100-gram serving of coconut flakes has nearly seven grams of fiber. Remember: The sweet spot is 21 to 25 grams of fiber per day for adult women and 30 to 38 grams a day for adult men. Chocolate<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/chocolate-longevity\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/chocolate-longevity\/\"> has also been linked to helping fight inflammation<\/a>, as the antioxidants found in cacao help reduce oxidative stress. That is if you use the right kind\u2014ideally, that\u2019s chocolate made with 70 percent or higher of cacao.<\/p>\n<p>But no, no, no\u2026 we\u2019re not done yet.
