COCONUT MACAROONS | easy, almost healthy, coconut cookies!

Coconut macaroons are bite sized treats (like a coconut cookie!) with a crispy coating and chewy interior. But when dipped in chocolate, they make for one indulgent dessert.

Classic coconut macaroons are little dollops that contain sweetened condensed milk (which is dairy and extra sugar). But we're ditching that today to keep these lighter, fluffier, and less sugary. They're also gluten-free and dairy-free!

This version is easy, almost healthy (*wink*) and utterly delicious. I think they're the best, and one of my personal favorite sweet treats. Hope you love them too!

Who loves that coconut + chocolate combo as much as I do?! 🙋‍♀️ These are great to make as a holiday treat with the family...or all by yourself! Let me know what other sweet treats or dessert recipes you'd like to see me make next! xo - Lisa

Just made them. Added lemon zest of one lemon into mine and they are amazing. I’m sure without lemon they are amazing too, I just felt like having something lemony flavour lol ❤

Love me some coconut macaroons! These look so yum

[annescheer]

This may be the first time I was able to follow along, write down the instructions and had all my questions answered. Good job!

OMG Lisa, when I was a child I gave up cookies for 3 years. When I decided that was long enough my mom who always had some baked desert for dinner asked me what type of cookie I wanted first. Coconut macaroon! You brought back so many wonderful memories with this and dipping in chocolate is a game changer! Thank you for all you do with helping people with their relationship with food!

Hi Lisa,
thank you so much for all your advice and great recipes!!! You have been a great inspiration over the last weeks!
My 4 year old daughter was just begging me to write to you and ask for your macaron recipe! She'd love to bake those with me as soon as possible 🙂!
All the best, Sarah

Just made these and they are already half gone! Easy to make and tastes like an inverted almond joy candy 😋

I made these this weekend and both my husband and daughter loved them. I’m making them again soon. Thank you for your recipe. I’ve never had a macaroon before, but these are a new favorite now.

They look delicious! I made them and did zest a lime and stirred it in the coconut mixture....and then drizzled with dark chocolate. OMG.

[cathydunfee]

I wouldn’t be able to eat just one either. Also, i would love a macaron recipe, I think I ate my weight in them when I was in France a couple years ago.

[aurielashley]

I love how simple and clean these are! Definitely have to try this recipe!

[ksciscokid]

You hit this one out of the park Lisa, I sometimes add just a hint of mint oil to the chocolate 🍫 yum ☺️

[aarudraavasarala]
