Vegan coconut macaroons – delicious and healthy cookies recipe with step by step pictures.

Coconut macaroons are my most favorite cookies. These will not taste like regular cookies. Moist and chewy inside and little crisp outside. Instead of a cookie, I like to call it baked coconut ladoo as this taste exactly like coconut ladoo.

These coconut macaroons are different from macarons, you can check the differences between these two here. I never tasted macarons, I hope someday I will make an eggless version of these.

I made these coconut macaroons without condensed milk. Instead, I used almond butter which makes these even more healthy and delicious too 🙂

I can never stop using coconut. There are many coconut ladoo recipes on the blog. Please check them out

Grab this one cookie as mid-morning or evening snack and your tummy will be happy 😃

I have flavored this cookie with nutmeg, you can use pure vanilla essence or vanilla powder. Cardamom powder will also be good. But try nutmeg and coconut combination once and you will not regret at all. It will be super delicious.

How to make coconut macaroons recipe with step by step pictures:

Take a mixing bowl. Add sugar, almond butter and a pinch of grated nutmeg

Mix it well and add water to this mixture.

Now mix it again very well till the sugar is dissolved completely and mixture turns smoother.

Add desiccated coconut powder half cup at a time and incorporate it well into almond butter mixture.

The final mixture should be a little sticky as shown in the picture.

You should be able to form a cookie using the dough. If the mixture is too dry, add little water and try again. If the mixture is too sticky, add coconut powder.

Divide the dough into equal parts and form cookies out of it. I have topped it with pistachio.

Bake the cookies in the OTG at 180 degrees C for 15 minutes.

The bottom of the cookies should become brown as shown in the picture.

These coconut macaroons will taste very good when they are a little warm. So enjoy them immediately after baking. It’s so hard to resist them 🙂
