Raw Coconut Macaroons

You can also add chocolate on top! Both ways are Delicious!

These cookies our my families NEW favorite treat! We found these at a health food store and they are were a little over a dollar a piece so I decided to find a recipe that was similar! Thanks to a friend that had already done the same thing I found this yummy and sooo easy recipe!


Ingredients:
1/2-3/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1 1/4 cup almond flour
1/4 tsp real salt
1/2 cup coconut oil at room temperature
1/4 a cup raw honey or pure maple syrup
2 tsp pure vanilla
*optional 2-3 TBS ground flax seed

Directions:
Mix dry and wet in separate bowls, then mix together, spoon onto a cookie sheet and freeze for 30 minutes to over night. Keep in the fridge.


If you want to try these look alike cookies before making them to see if it's worth it look for them at a health food store like Good Earth or Whole foods they are Raw Melissa brand and are $5 for 4. Just FYI. This is what they look like ...

Chocolate Topping:

1/4 cup raw cacao powder

1/4 cup raw coconut oil, warmed to liquid
2 Tbsp raw agave nectar or raw honey
a pinch of sea salt

Directions:

 

 Mix together chocolate ingredients and set in the fridge until slightly thickened (a few minutes). 

Spoon or Dip half of each cookie into the chocolate and set on a foil lined baking sheet.  Sprinkle with coconut while wet.  Once all the cookies are dipped, place in the freezer until chocolate is set, about 5 minutes.

 

Enjoy!!
