Heads up: we have a cookie emergency here, people. Sally writes:
I have a cookie emergency! Ok, not really but I have an upcoming event and I really want to take a cookie that I CANNOT find a recipe for. [Swistle note: This = emergency.]
The cookie – A brownie cookie from the bakery of my local supermarket. But not just any brownie cookie – a moist and delicious brownie cookie made with coconut and white chocolate chips that is SOOOO good. I started with the obvious and asked at the bakery for a recipe but it seems they get them shipped in frozen and merely bake them in the store. I tried the store’s website (Hy-Vee) and got nowhere so I turned to the internet at large. I found brownie cookie recipes and coconut brownie recipes but nothing in the middle. I’m ready to start experimenting but I don’t really know where and this is where you come in.
I know you are a master of the baked goods in general and brownies in particular so I ask you: Have you ever made or eaten such a cookie as I have described? Generally speaking, is a brownie cookie made of different ingredients than a brownie or just baked in a different form? I suspect merely adding coconut and white chocolate chips to a brownie cookie recipe will make it too sweet and possibly too moist to hang together. Thoughts? Helping me with this project will result in a LOT of goodwill coming your way from me and my family . . . plus you will have a DELISH cookie to add to your repertoire that freezes really well and you know what that means – cookies on demand!
It is hard to match a good bakery cookie. Our grocery store bakery makes a caramel coconut chocolate chip one that I have tried IN VAIN to even APPROXIMATE.
I have one recipe for brownie cookies. Betcha we could modify it to include coconut and white chocolate chips (I think my first try would be to add 3/4 cup of each, in place of the chocolate chips), but also betcha it wouldn’t much resemble the cookies you have in mind.
Let’s spread wide the net! Do any of you have a recipe for chocolate/brownie coconut white-chocolate-chip cookies?
This doesn’t sound like -exactly- the right thing but it sounds awesome and has enough of the original requirements that it might be worth a try:

I’m going to check back to see if the delicious recipe you’re searching for makes an appearance — good luck!
This has 3 cups of chips, perhaps you could do 1.5 of chips and 1.5 of coconut?

These sound almost the same, except they use chopped nuts which I’m sure you could sub in the coconut:

Other than this including different flours to make it gluten free, it has all the components:

I have no such recipe. THANK GOD. My (former) double chin rejoices!
Thanks, Swistle, for asking the Interwebs for their help with my cookie emergency (see THIS is why I ask you. You GET it!) and thank you too, Interwebs!
I’ll be baking this weekend and it all else fails, I’m thinking about trying to track down some master baker at the HQ. I spend *literally* half my monthly take home pay at this store so they OWE me, right?
I agree with Laura–what you’re talking about sounds more like a chocolate macaroon than a brownie cookie. I know nothing about cooking macaroons, but I buy chocolate ones from my work cafeteria all the time and they are TASTY and might lend themselves well to white chocolate chips.
it’s questions like these that A) make me hungry and B) make me want to suggest that you start a sideblog for random questions.
i’ll be your first asker! :)
Have you tried the King Arthur Flour site? They have lots of recipes, although nothing that sounded quite like you’re describing. But they also have a place you can email them with baking questions –sometimes on their blog they show how they replicate recipes for people. (Not an employee — just a happy customer!)
My question is: what’s a good fudge recipe?
