One dirty bowl and two dirty cookie sheets. And a measuring spoon or two. That’s it. I even simplify further and line my cookie sheets with parchment paper but that’s optional.

Dairy-Free Macaroons

I’ve been working hard on cutting back dairy in my diet. My easiest switch was beginning to use cashew or almond milk in my coffee in the morning. Harder is giving up creamy desserts and cheesy dinners. I’m trying to do one or two dairy-free meals a day in the hope that it will help me break my weight loss plateau.

Having a dairy-free dessert like these Easy Coconut Macaroons on hand is a must in my book. One that mixes up in just 5 minutes is even better.

How to make easy coconut macaroons

This is just about the easiest recipe ever. Simply mix together six ingredients, scoop cookies, and bake. My kids can make these all on their own. Which is fine with me.

Parchment Paper for Cookies

I always use parchment when baking cookies just for the ease of clean up. I buy one huge pack at Costco and it lasts me years even with all the baking I do for this blog. I highly recommend it!

Finely Shredded Coconut

When I first published this recipe I just put 8 oz of finely shredded coconut because that is a standard measurement and then you can just dump in the whole bag. A lot of people translated that to 1 cup of finely shredded coconut. Not the same thing. Coconut is light and fluffy so 8 oz of coconut is actually 2 1/2 cups.

Chocolate Chips in Easy Coconut Macaroons

You can leave the chocolate chips out for plain macaroons, add some nuts, add your favorite extract, and easily adapt this recipe for your own family. Last time I made these Easy Coconut Macaroons I made half the chocolate chips and made the other half into Triple Chocolate Macaroons with cocoa powder, chocolate chips, and a chocolate drizzle.

Want bars instead? Try these healthy coconut bars.

    I used a little bit more sweetener as I used erythitol/monk fruit, as well as some vanilla extract. Very good, slightly chewy, and very satisfying! I ate one the next morning and found that they had gotten significantly softer and crumbly, so I put them in the fridge and they firmed right up!

    If I froze these, would they defrost nicely and still taste good? I'm pregnant and wanting to make as many freezer meals/desserts as possible and LOVE these macaroons! I've made them a handful of times now :)

      They do freeze well. I'd suggest wrapping them one or two at a time in plastic wrap and then putting in a large ziploc bag.

    Tried this today to take to a bday potluck. The taste was delicious but they came out flat and crumbly. Ugh. But these were tasty and I tried the 2nd batch with added cocoa powder. They’re baking right now so hope these don’t flatten like the first batch! Will update later.

      Did you use finely shredded coconut?

        Yes I used finely shredded coconut. The 2nd batch still came out crumbly and flat as a pancake. I let them bake for 15 mins then watched until the edges would turn brown and still felt like it was pretty crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly. Was disappointed they didn’t look like the pic. Not sure why this didn’t work out.

        I'm not sure. Did you use a full 8 oz bag of finely shredded coconut? What did the dough look like when you scooped it? Like my photos?
