- In a food processor using the “S” blade, process together the shredded coconut and honey.

- Process again until batter is well combined. On a parchment-lined cookie sheet, scoop tablespoon-sized balls
- Bake for 16-18 minutes on *top rack. Check them at 16 min- you want them to be a nice golden brown. Then let cool.
- When macaroons have cooled, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a double broiler.
- Once you are ready, dip each macaroon bottom into the chocolate then place on a parchment lined cookie sheet, drizzle some additional chocolate on top, then freeze for 10 minutes to set.
- Macaroons will last up to one month in freezer or 1 week in refrigerator.
Notes:
Make sure to use top rack of oven and check on the macaroons to ensure they don’t burn
