Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 8 ounces, weight Package Full Fat Unsweetened Shredded Coconut; 1 cup Reduced Fat Unsweetened Shredded Coconut; 3/4 cups Old Fashioned Rolled Oats; 1/2 cups Unsalted Dry Toasted Sliced Almonds; 3/4 cups Pure Maple Syrup; 2 teaspoons Pure Almond Extract; 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract; 1/2 teaspoons Kosher Salt; 1 cup Chopped Chocolate Or Chips (dark, Milk, Semi-sweet, Or Grain Sweetened); 1/2 cups Sliced Almonds For Dipping The Chocolate-covered Macaroons Into, Optional

Servings: persons

1
Preheat oven to 300u00b0F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
2
In a food processor, process 2 2/3 cups of full fat shredded coconut for about 5-8 minutes, until a thick, smooth coconut butter forms, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed (this will yield about 1 cup of coconut butter).
3
Combine the coconut butter and the remaining ingredients (everything on the above list down to and including the salt) in a bowl. Stir until well-combined.
4
Using a mini ice cream scoop or a small spoon, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet (no need to leave much room in between as they do not spread out). Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the bottoms of the macaroons are lightly browned. The macaroons will be very soft at this point.
5
Allow the macaroons to sit at room temperature on the baking sheet for about 30 minutes, or until they firm up and cool down.
6
While the macaroons cool, melt the chopped chocolate either in the microwave using 30 second intervals or over a double boiler.
7
You can either dip the cooled macaroons into the chocolate, covering the flat bottoms, (then dip the chocolate-covered macaroons in the chopped sliced almonds, if using), or you can drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the cooled macaroons. Place chocolate-covered macaroons on a parchment or waxed paper-lined plate and place in the fridge until the chocolate has hardened.
