Time 1h6m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 ½ cups unsweetened shredded coconut
⅔ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon sea salt
20 fluid ounces coconut milk
½ cup honey, or more to taste
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup vegan dark chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Combine coconut, flour, and sea salt in a large bowl. Add coconut milk, honey, and vanilla extract; stir until thoroughly combined. Drop tablespoonfuls of mixture onto prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden on the bottom and tops are just beginning to brown, about 20 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
  • Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each melting, 1 to 3 minutes.
  • Dip tops or bottoms of macaroons in melted chocolate, letting any excess drip back into the bowl. Place on waxed paper until set, about 10 minutes.

COCONUT-NUT MACAROONS



Coconut-Nut Macaroons image

The reward of these classic one-bowl cookies far outweighs the effort of making them. They are so easy - just dump and stir - and you don't need any special equipment. Here, Mark Bittman adds a generous handful of pistachios for crunch and color. They are also gluten-free, and the perfect treat for Passover.

Yield About 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup sugar
3 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup chopped pistachios
3 egg whites, lightly beaten until just foamy
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together egg whites, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix well with a rubber spatula or your hands.
  • Use a nonstick baking sheet, or line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wet your hands and make small piles of the mixture, each 1 to 2 tablespoons; place on sheet about an inch apart.
  • Bake until firm to the touch and lightly browning on edges, about 15 minutes. Remove baking sheet and cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes before eating. These keep well in a covered container for up to 3 days.
