Not Your Mother'S Macaroons
- 3 cups shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups raw almonds
- 1 cup agave nectar
- Pulse the almonds in a food processor until broken down and only some medium size pieces remain.
- Transfer this mixture to a large bowl and add all remaining ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon or strong rubber spatula. Then get in there with your hands and mash it all together.-This is actually AMAZING for your hands, they will feel super soft, like you just had a manicure, if you get them in there and mix using them. Coconut oil is wonderful for the skin too. So go for it!
- Form large golf ball sized macaroons with a tablespoon and your hands, transfer macaroons to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour prior to serving. You may also wrap individual macaroons in an airtight container and freeze - simply thaw out before serving.
