Cranberry Coconut Macaroons Recipe
Description
This Cranberry Coconut Macaroons Recipe uses shredded unsweetened coconut, dried cranberries, coconut oil, and honey or maple syrup blended in a food processor until sticky. The mixture is portioned into cookie shapes and baked until set but still tender inside. After baking and cooling, they are drizzled with melted dark chocolate for added richness.
The texture of these macaroons is chewy and moist, with bursts of tartness from cranberries contrasting the natural sweetness of coconut and honey or maple syrup. Coconut oil adds subtle richness and helps hold the cookies together.
These macaroons are great as a snack or dessert and can be served alongside coffee or tea. The dark chocolate drizzle adds a touch of elegance and bittersweet flavor.
Replace honey with maple syrup if needed, though maple syrup makes the macaroons a bit more delicate and less firm.
Ingredients
- 3 cups coconut shredded, unsweetened
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons honey see notes, or maple syrup
- ¼ cup dark chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the coconut, cranberries, coconut oil, and honey or maple syrup to your food processor and pulse until the mixture starts to stick together.
- Scoop a generous tablespoonful, form into a cookie shape, then place the cookie on the baking sheet. Make 16 cookies.
- Bake the cookies for 10 minutes and then cool completely before removing them from the baking sheet.
- Melt the chocolate in a double-boiler or microwave then drizzle a little over the cookies.
Notes
- Use maple syrup only if you cannot eat honey; it results in a more delicate cookie texture.
