The best no bake coconut cookies! These Paleo No Bake Coconut Macaroons are egg free and dairy free, so they fit many special diets
This past week I had the pleasure of doing an interview with Ana Fairchild for the My Symphony of Life Podcast. I was super excited to do this interview, but I was a little bit nervous!
It was one of those things that sounded a little scary at first but was really fun! I made a commitment a while ago to live life outside my comfort zone, and not let opportunities pass me by. This was a great opportunity I am glad I took the time to be a part of : )
Ana asked me to share a recipe with her listeners so I created this recipe just for the podcast interview! I will post the link to the podcast interview when it comes out, but until then, enjoy this No-Bake Coconut Macaroon recipe!
These little cookies are really addictive, especially with mini chocolate chips inside. They are like the inside of a Mounds bar, but a whole lot healthier! Have some fun with these: try rolling these in ground almonds, cocoa powder, or toasted coconut, or even some chopped chocolate. Enjoy!

Hello. What can i substitute with honey? Can I use sugar instead? Thank you.
Hi Sheena, you can use another liquid sweetener like maple syrup, cane syrup, or agave, you just might use a bit less of it since it’s not as thick as raw honey
Could you substitute the coconut cream for coconut oil? The coconut bites look so yummy, but I have no coconut milk 🙁
Yep, you could easily interchange coconut oil and coconut cream in this recipe 🙂
Just checking. My coconut milk has liquid at the top and the thick stuff under it.. Atleast the last two cans?
Hi Jeanette! The thick part of the separation – whether on top or the bottom – is what you want to use from your can of coconut milk.
Mmm! I will have to try these out the first chance I get. Thanks for the recipe!
Thanks Sarah!
These look totally scrumptious! Can’t wait to try them next time my 88 y.o. Mom visits. She adores coconut! Thanks for sharing.
Let me know how you both like them : )
Sarah~ You did quite well on the interview! Awesome post! Talk to you soon!

Thanks Katie!
