Coconut Almond Macaroons
These macaroons are neither a traditional version made with almond paste nor a straight-ahead coconut version; rather, a hybrid of the two, using sliced almonds and shredded coconut. They have the best characteristic of all macaroons, however—a chewy-crunchy outside that gives way to a soft inside. Bet you can’t just eat one.

SERVES

20 minCOOK TIME
15 minIngredients
2 cups/160 g unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup/95 g sliced raw almonds, plus more as needed
2/3 cup/100 g coconut palm sugar
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 large organic, pasture-raised, or antibiotic-free egg whites
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F/160°C. Line two baking sheets with parchment.
In the bowl of a food processor, combine the coconut, almonds, sugar, and salt and pulse until finely chopped. Add the egg whites and pulse until the mixture is evenly moistened and will hold together when you squeeze a handful of dough. (If the mixture is too dry, add water 1 or 2 teaspoons at a time.)
With dampened hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch/2.5 cm balls and arrange about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Slightly flatten each ball and garnish with an almond slice. Bake until the bottoms are lightly browned, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
