No-Bake Chocolate Macaroon Cookies

June 14, 2019 by Dallas Leave a Comment

No-bake chocolate macaroon cookies. Need I say more?

I will say that I got the idea for this recipe from vegan blogging mogul, Ms. Minimalist Baker herself. I made Dana’s Coconut No-Bake Cookies almost weekly last year. They are so easy, so rich and chewy, and soo satisfying.

However, since I am always trying to reduce my sugar intake, especially refined sugar, I wanted to create a similar cookie that used maple syrup instead of cane sugar.

I also made a few other tweaks to Dana’s recipe. First I swapped the rolled oats for quick oats, which gives these cookies a fudgy consistency. Then I bumped up the salt (would you expect anything less from the Salt Queen? 😉 ). And finally, I tossed in some pecans. And there they were. Absolutely to-die-for no-bake chocolate macaroon cookies that are SO easy to make, insanely delicious, and gluten and refined-sugar-free. Winning life.

These cookies are rich, chewy, fudgy, and packed with healthy fat and protein for an extra energy boost throughout the day. They also contain just over one teaspoon of maple syrup per cookie.

If you’re trying to cut down on caffeine, take a few of these cocoa-powered fudge bombs with you out the door instead of your morning jav!

And lastly, to keep these cookies fresh, store them in an air-tight container in the freezer. Take one out ten or fifteen minutes before you plan to eat it. If you just can’t wait that long, no worries…

…frozen, thawed, or a melty mess, these chocolate macaroons cookies are delicious no matter what.

So… let’s make.
