macaroons -- vegan, gluten free, sugar free etc

I like the simplicity of these cookies. I think they are versatile -- would lend themselves to various sweeteners -- maple macaroons anyone? -- as well as various flavours. I have some Orange and Lemon organic flavour (basically it's essential oil) that I'm looking forward to taking for a spin.  Anyway, I kept it plain and uncomplicated this time, and they were very quick and very easy to make. They are not as puffy and soft as the usual macaroons -- maybe I'll soak the coconut next time. I like 'em!





ingredients:

1/2 cup water + 2 tsp egg replacer
1/2 cup coconut sugar

1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tbsp ground vanilla bean
1 tsp ceylon cinnamon
1/4 cup ground chia seeds

3 cups shredded coconut



directions:

1. combine the ingredients and stir really well
2. roll into balls and flatten, place on a lined baking sheet
3. makes 24-28 cookies
4. bake at 345 for 16 minutes
