Paleo Coconut Macaroon No Bake Cookies
The other day I was staring at my cupboard again, desperate for a treat. I was getting tired of my choices-hot cocoa, or hot cocoa. I am on a super funky diet these days, that includes no refined sugar and no eggs...which means no baking. :0( While I was staring at my cupboard, my super sweet hubby came in and took a little bit a this and a little bit of that, and poof! made me a delicious no bake cookie I could eat! Even if you aren't on a health kick like me, these cookies are a delicious version of coconut macaroons, but with chocolate mixed in. Much better than drizzling chocolate on top!! Hope you enjoy and feel free to eat the whole batch at once, as they are suuuuper good for you!!!
