Ever since I got those nut milk bags and started making my own coconut milk a few months ago, there has been a never ending supply of coconut flour, which we’ve been using to make cookies, apple crisp, pudding, and, now, macaroons. If you don’t happen to have a high-speed blender, nut milk bag, and dehydrator, then no worries. Just go to town and buy some coconut flour (or vice versa)!

Macaroons:
2 cups coconut pulp
10 dates, pitted
1 cup water
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Place all the ingredients into a food processor and pulse until well blended. Scoop tablespoon-sized pieces of batter into your palm, gently flatten, and bake at 325F for 15-20 min until browning lightly at the edges. Decorate the tops, if desired, with a single chocolate chip. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator. If there are any, that is.

Ginger Snaps:
2 cups coconut pulp
6 dates, pitted
1 cup water
3/4 tsp each, ginger + cinnamon
1 pinch nutmeg

Place all the ingredients into a food processor and pulse until blended but not pulverized. Then continue as above. Decorate with a slice of candied ginger when they come out of the oven.
