Author: Katie Benson of Healing Whole Nutrition
Recipe type: Cookies/Bars
Yield: 18 cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup coconut oil – melted
- 3 Tbsp raw honey
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ⅛ tsp salt, for cookies
- ¾ cup coconut flour
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¾ cup unsweetened finely shredded coconut
- 1 cup chocolate chips of choice – I used Enjoy Life Minis – plus 2 Tbsp to add to the top of the macaroons before baking
- 1 tsp sea salt, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper
- In a large bowl, add the coconut oil and place in the microwave to melt
- Add the honey, eggs and vanilla and whisk to combine
- Add the coconut flour, shredded coconut, salt and cinnamon and stir to combine.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Using a cookie scoop – mine holds 1 ½ Tbsp – scoop the dough onto the cookie sheet, leaving 1” in between each scoop
- Press 2-3 extra chocolate chips on each macaroon.
- Bake for 8 minutes, then salt the hot macaroons with the sea salt
- Let the macaroons sit on the cookie sheet for about 5 minutes, then move to a cooling rack
Notes
*We love to store our macaroons in the fridge or the freezer to achieve an even chewier macaroon!
*Don’t overcook these, even if they don’t seem done! In order to achieve the macroon-like texture, 8 minutes is the longest they should be in
