Chocolate Chip Coconut Macaroons

Here is what I think about writing a cookie post. I don’t really feel like cookies need much explaining. They are delicious and people love them. Also, it is Monday and it seems as if my brain never really started working very well today. I am pretty sure that most of you have already skipped past these first few lines and are looking at the pictures and ingredients anyway. So to make this easier for everyone (and my not so functioning brain) I am going to summarize my thoughts on this recipe in to bullet points. So don’t scroll past all the words yet….COME BACK! My thoughts on the macaroons!

1. They taste AMAZING!
2. No EGGS required!
3. Mmm…coconut!
4. You MUST let them cool completely before eating!
5. Yes, I do realize that is REALLY hard!
6. SUPER easy to make!
7. Mmm…chocolate!
8. Be sure to pack the batter TIGHTLY!
9. My cat is on my lap and won’t let me TYPE so guess I am done!

Notes

• Notes: You MUST pack the batter tightly or they won’t cook correctly and will probably fall apart.
• If your batter is not sticking add some more coconut oil. If that doesn’t help then add more applesauce.
• For a vegan option: Sub the honey for maple syrup
