Ingredients

7 ounces unsweetened shredded coconut
2 cups raw almonds (chopped)
1 teaspoon gluten-free vanilla extract
1 cup pure maple syrup
⅔ cup coconut oil
½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl until well combined
Use a small cookie scoop to form into balls with a flat bottom (like what you get when you don't round them out after using the cookie scoop)
Place on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper and chill 1 hour or more
Optional: Drizzle with melted dark chocolate if you want an extra decadent treat

Notes

Melt coconut oil - I find it easier to combine the ingredients when you melt the coconut oil first. It will harden again once the cookies are chilled.
Buy pre-chopped almonds - If you don't have a food processor, I would highly recommend buying pre-chopped almonds. They have a much nicer texture than if you try to chop them with a knife.
Add chocolate chips - You can add chocolate drizzle on the outside of the cookies or add chocolate chips. I love adding white chocolate chips for extra sweetness.

Pro Tip: Don't store at room temperature or they can melt. Enjoy cold from the fridge or freezer.

Storing and Freezing

Storing - Macaroons are best kept in the fridge or freezer in an airtight container. You can store them up to 7 days covered and 3 days uncovered.

Freezing - You can freeze coconut macaroons for up to 3 months in a freezer-proof container. Your cookies do not need to be room temperature before wrapping and freezing.
