These macaroons are so good. Anything with coconut is perfect in my world. My girls liked them with a melted chocolate drizzle or chocolate chips added, but I preferred them plain.
Simple Coconut Macaroons
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tbsp soy milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup unsweetened flaked coconut (sweetened can be used but they will be very sweet)
Combine the maple syrup, soy milk, and vanilla. Add the coconut and mix thoroughly. The mixture will be loose. Form a tablespoon amount of the mixture into a mound on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Repeat until all of the mixture is used. Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes or until the coconut on top is browning. Allow the macaroons to cool completely before removing from the sheet or they will fall apart. The syrup makes a mess on the parchment paper. Once the macaroons are cooled, pick them up and carefully remove any burned sugar attached to the bottom.
* Makes 12-15 small macaroons.
* The macaroons can be made any size, but after making them several times, I found that the smaller ones held together much better and were easier to eat.
