Low Carb Coconut Macaroons
An easy recipe for macaroon cookies without adding all of the sugar. This recipe is low carb and sugar free.
Servings: 30 -35 depending on size of cookie
Ingredients
- Unsweetened coconut flakes- 1 14-15 ounce package about 5 cups.
- Sugar Alternative- equivalent to ⅔ cup of sugar. I use granular alternative.
- Salt- a dash.
- Flour- 6 tablespoons.
- Egg whites- 4.
- Vanilla Extract can sub in almond or other extract- 1 ½ teaspoons.
- Optional-sugar free melted chocolate to drizzle over finished cookies.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325 and prep a sheet pan for nonstick. I use parchment paper. If you are using something else, be sure to grease it up well. Both methods should be lightly topped with some sprinkled flour.
- In a mixing bowl, combine together the coconut flakes, sugar alternative, salt and flour.
- Add the vanilla extract to the bowl and then fold in the egg whites.
- Use a tablespoon or similar sized item to scoop up each macaroon from the mixing bowl and place it onto the pan. Leave at least an inch between cookies.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until they begin to brown. Allow the macaroons to cool on a rack before serving.
- Optional- drizzle sugar free chocolate, that has been melted, over your cookies.
