Light and fluffy macaroons, naturally sweetened with honey.

Ingredients

• 3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1½ cups homemade sweetened condensed coconut milk
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• pinch of sea salt
• *optional: 3 oz. dark chocolate

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 300F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat.
2. Combine all of the ingredients in a medium bowl, and mix until well combined.
3. Drop the batter by rounded tablespoons onto the lined baking sheet, and bake for 20 minutes at 300F, or until the cookies are lightly golden.
4. Use a spatula to gently remove the macaroons from the baking sheet, and allow to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
5. Once cooled, you can dip the macaroons in melted dark chocolate, if you like. Simply place the dipped macaroons on a dish lined with parchment paper, and allow the melted chocolate to set in the fridge until firm.
