Created by:
Serves: about 10 cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 3.5 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1 tablespoon arrowroot starch
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
  • 4 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 3 tablespoons raw honey
  • 1 tablespoon matcha green tea powder
  • juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon grassfed beef gelatin
Optional Glaze:
  • 3 tablespoons coconut butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon coconut oil, melted
  • ½ teaspoon raw honey
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with silpat or parchment paper.
  2. Combine dry ingredients (except matcha) and lime zest in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, combine melted coconut oil, honey, lime juice, and matcha green tea powder. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix well.
  3. In a small saucepan, add 3 tablespoons of water and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of gelatin over top. Let sit for a minute, then whisk together over medium heat until foamy and frothy.
  4. Pour hot gelatin mixture into the cookie dough and stir gently until combined.
  5. Scoop large tablespoons of the macaroon dough onto a baking sheet. (I got 10 cookies.)
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes then allow to cool completely.
  7. Stir together the glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Drizzle or lightly coat part of your baked macaroons. Pop them in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes for the glaze to set. Enjoy!
Notes
~If you're not egg-free, you could try substituting a regular egg in place of the gelatin egg. I have not tried this, so let me know how they turn out if you do!
