Recipe Notes
For this recipe please use shredded coconut rather than coconut meat in another form.
Also, the coconut should be unsweetened. There is a chocolate glaze that is drizzled over these macaroons after they are baked. The chocolate that is drizzled over these macaroons is a simple glaze that is also vegan. Feel free to omit this step if you do not want chocolate. However, you could also double it if you want even more chocolate. *Please check the nutritional labels to assure that you are sticking to your diet restrictions for any substitutions used. - see post for alternatives
