Sinful Macaroons

Sometimes it's hard to work in a grocery store, especially if you're in close proximity to the folks in the bakery department. Reason being: they were making macaroons today and the entire area smelled like sweet coconut! I had to bake a batch of vegan macaroons immediately!
Ta-daa!
Not long after I got home from work, my house matched the sweet aroma of the store's bakery department. Rick and I thought the macaroons were amazing; soft and fluffy inside but crusty on the outside. They totally fulfilled my craving.
The dough yields about 20 macaroons; here is the nutrition info for each cookie:

Can you see why I call them sinful? How can you possibly have one teenie cookie when 19 other ones are staring up at you? Personally, much more than one satisfied my craving and I'm not regretting a thing. *wink* You can get this recipe by clicking here.
Lord have mercy.
We had a friend over tonight who's not a fan of anything that contains coconut so he turned down the macaroons. I felt rejected. *sad face* But one of my friends liked them!
Kitty approved. =)
Don't worry, she didn't eat one. She just stole one from me before she could! Bad kitty. <3

  1. Wow, vegan macaroons. Those sound great. I once saw a package of raw and vegan macaroons at bulk barn but opted out of buying it because it was way too expensive. Thank you for sharing the recipe.

      Huh, raw macaroons. I wonder what they're like. :) Not willing to pay the price though, haha.
