Recipe: Vegan Coconut Macaroons



I made these bite-sized cookies for girls' night last week and they were snapped up fast. This recipe makes 9-10 macaroons, but you might want to double it if you're entertaining more than a few dainty ladies (or  if you have a vicious sweet tooth.)

What you'll need:

  • 1/2 cup turbinado sugar*
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup vanilla almond or coconut (or other non-dairy) milk
  • Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup nondairy chocolate chips**
*Huh? Turbinado sugar is a raw brown sugar that has been partially processed to the point where only the surface molasses has been melted off. It has a mild flavor.
**You can use regular chocolate chips if you don't care about keeping this recipe vegan.

How to make them:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Mix the sugar, shredded coconut, and whole wheat flour in a bowl. 



Add your nondairy milk and a splash of vanilla.

Mix everything together and shape into balls.



Bake on a non-stick cookie sheet for 10-15 minutes, until light brown. Let cool 10 minutes.



Heat up your chocolate chips in a pan and drizzle it over your macaroons, or dip for a neater presentation.

Try not to eat the whole batch. I dare you.
