Ingredients

  • 3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 2 oz dairy-free dark chocolate (70%+, optional), melted

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, stir together 3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut, 3 large egg whites, 1/4 cup honey, 1 tsp pure vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp fine sea salt until the coconut is evenly moistened.

  3. 3

    Scoop rounded tablespoon-sized mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Press each mound firmly so it holds its shape.

  4. 4

    Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until the tops and bottoms are golden brown.

  5. 5

    Remove from the oven and let the macaroons cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  6. 6

    If desired, drizzle or dip the bottoms of the cooled macaroons in 2 oz melted dairy-free dark chocolate (70%+, optional). Place on parchment and let the chocolate set before serving.
