Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of shredded coconut, 1/2 cup of almond flour, 1/4 cup of honey, 1/4 cup of almond butter, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut and almond flour. Stir them together until they are evenly mixed.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the honey, almond butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Use a whisk or a spoon to ensure that the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or your hands, mix everything together until the coconut and almond flour are fully coated with the honey and almond butter mixture.
- Once the mixture is well combined, take a small amount and form it into a ball or a cookie shape using your hands. Repeat this process until all the mixture is shaped into cookies. You should be able to make about 12 cookies.
- Place the formed cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet or a plate. Make sure they are spaced apart as they may stick together if placed too closely.
- Once all the cookies are shaped, refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up. This step is crucial for achieving the right texture.
- After the cookies have chilled, they are ready to be served. Enjoy your delicious No Bake Paleo Macaroon Cookies as a healthy snack or dessert!
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Tips
- Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for the best mixing consistency.
- Use a high-quality, fresh almond butter for the richest flavor.
- When forming cookies, wet your hands slightly to prevent the mixture from sticking.
- For a more uniform look, use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to shape your macaroons.
- If the mixture seems too dry, add a tiny bit more honey; if too wet, sprinkle in extra almond flour.
- For extra indulgence, consider drizzling melted dark chocolate over the chilled cookies.
- Make sure to refrigerate the cookies long enough so they hold their shape perfectly.
- These cookies are best enjoyed chilled, straight from the refrigerator.
