Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup vanilla sugar
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1-2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest
  • 3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup sweet rice flour
  • 1/4 cup amaranth flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Mix together sugar, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla, lemon zest, and sea salt. Stir in coconut until well-coated. Add flours and mix very well, using your hands if needed. Mix until uniform.
  2. Using a 1-inch scoop or 1 Tbls measuring spoon, scoop macaroons into small domes, forming with your hands if needed. Be sure to pack the coconut mixture into the scoop hard or the macaroons may crumble later after baking.
  3. Arrange on cookie sheet closely together, but not touching. They grow only slightly. Bake about 15-20 minutes, rotating cookie sheet once halfway through. Macaroons are done when they're golden all over. Be careful not to burn the bottoms.
  4. Serve warm or room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
