Chocolate Coconut Macaroons
Description
Chocolate Coconut Macaroons combine shredded coconut and almond flour with cocoa and natural sweeteners to create a moist, chewy cookie with a subtle chocolate taste. The use of melted coconut oil and vanilla extract enriches the flavor profile, while a small amount of salt balances the sweetness. Baking at a modest temperature ensures the macaroons cook through evenly, developing a lightly browned base that adds a slight crunch to their otherwise chewy texture.
The recipe's straightforward preparation involves mixing all ingredients together, portioning with a moderately sized cookie scoop, and baking with a turn halfway through to ensure even cooking. Cooling the macaroons on the baking sheet before transfer helps maintain their shape.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup coconut unsweetened, shredded
- 1/2 cup almond flour finely ground
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup raw cacao
- 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
- 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients in a bowl until well combined.
- Using a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop, scoop the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 20 minutes, turning the baking sheet halfway through. The bottom of each macaroon will start to brown when finished.
- Cool macaroons on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes before transferring to a plate (otherwise, they will break apart).
