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:

Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 2/3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
2/3 cup sugar
4 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour with xanthan gum
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 large egg whites at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
1/2 cup gluten-free chocolate chips (optional) (For dairy-free use Nestle Allergen Free Semi-Sweet Morsels or Enjoy Life.)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the egg whites until they are white and fluffy. I used a hand electric mixer.
  • Stir in the sugar, pure vanilla extract, pure almond extract, and gluten-free flour into the egg whites.
  • Stir the sweetened coconut into the egg white mixture, mixing until fully combined.
  • Scoop out the cookie dough using a greased 1 ½ teaspoon cookie scoop spacing about 1-inch apart. Do not flatten the cookie dough balls.
  • Bake 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Bake for 18 minutes for super soft cookies. Please watch your oven because all ovens are different.
  • Allow the cookies to cool for 5-10 minutes.
  • Store in an air-tight container.

Tips:

  • Use unsweetened shredded coconut. This will help to control the sweetness of the macaroons and prevent them from becoming too overpowering.
  • Toast the coconut before using it. This will bring out its flavor and make it more fragrant.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the macaroons tough.
  • Use a cookie scoop to drop the batter onto the baking sheet. This will help to ensure that the macaroons are all the same size and shape.
  • Bake the macaroons until they are golden brown. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Let the macaroons cool completely before serving. This will help them to firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Gluten-free coconut macaroons are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover egg whites, and they can be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer. Whether you are looking for a sweet snack or a festive dessert, these macaroons are sure to please.
