These plain coconut macaroons, and the chocolate lover's version are adapted from The Joy of Cooking. These are the cookies that most of us remember as coconut macaroons - and they're very easy to make!

Try Coconut Almond Macaroons, adapted from Wanda Beaver's 'Pie In The Sky'. Her dessert cookbook is so wonderful, we want to veganize all the recipes - Sarah Kingsbury, Savvy Vegetarian

Plain Coconut Macaroons, Eighteen 2 inch cookies: Ingredients

3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
3 Tblsp icing sugar
2/3 cups warm coconut milk*
1 Tblsp Ener G-Egg Replacer
1 tsp almond or vanilla extract
*We used full fat coconut milk, but Lite would work too - it's the egg replacer that holds the cookies together

Cookie Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 F
Line 1 cookie sheet with parchment paper
Mix coconut with icing sugar
Warm milk slightly, whisk in Ener-G Egg Replacer
Stir extract into milk
Pour milk mixture into coconut mixture and mix thoroughly
Drop by spoonful onto cookie sheets
Bake 20-25 minutes until golden
Allow to cool completely before removing from pan
Chocolate Lover's Variation: Stir 2 T cocoa powder into the coconut milk while heating, otherwise make recipe as directed.
