Citrus Kissed Macaroons | Dessert Recipe | The Ultimate Chef

YIELD: 18 COOKIES

Lightly touched with lemon, these macaroons have only a handful of ingredients and don’t need to be baked. They make a great snack post- workout or when the midday munchies arise.

Directions

Combine the Medjool dates, lemon juice, and water in a food processor and blend until very smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary.

Add 1 cup shredded coconut and pulse until very well combined.

Transfer to a large bowl and by hand incorporate the additional 3 cups coconut until evenly mixed.

Form the mixture into cookies and place it onto a cookie sheet.

Refrigerate briefly to set.

Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
