Toast Coconut: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

Freeze and Dip: Place the shaped cookies in the freezer while you melt the unsweetened chocolate. Dip the bottom of each cookie into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Drizzle more chocolate over the tops of the cookies for an extra decadent touch.
