A classic cookie gets a holiday twist with these Chewy Coconut Macaroons

Time to ease into the holiday baking with a simple cookie that everyone loves. Macaroons have been a family favourite, forever. Kids love their chewy, coconut goodness. Moms love how easy they are to make. Dressed up with the addition of dark chocolate drizzle, these Chewy Coconut Macaroons are ready for the holiday table.

Chewy Coconut Macaroons_1 These cookies are a coconut lovers dream. Chewy and moist on the inside, crispy and golden on the outside. Traditionally they are left plain, which is delicious, but they are even more delicious dipped or drizzled with dark chocolate. This base recipe can be really versatile… add some orange or lime zest for more of a tropical feel… add a toasted almond to the top for an Almond Joy copycat.


Chewy Coconut Macaroons_2 They keep well for days over the holidays, but they won’t last that long…

          I have never tried it, but I understand that you can substitute 1/2 of the all-purpose flour with quinoa.

      These macaroons freeze well for up to six months, but proper wrapping is important. To avoid “freezer burn,” store the cookies carefully. The best way is to place the cookies in a zipper freezer bag in a single layer. Seal the zipper all the way except for about an inch. Insert a straw. Suck all the air out of the bag through the straw, quickly withdraw the straw, and seal tight.

    Is there anything I can use to replace eggs. I would love to make these and share but with a few foods allergies makes it difficult. Help please!

      Hi Rachel, I would suggest you look up ‘vegan baking’ on the web. I have heard that an egg replacer called “Ener-G Egg Replacer” is good.

    Do you best the egg whites first? If yes, until soft peaks form?
