These cookies are a riff off our Easy Vegan Macaroon Cookies (but somehow even better)! They’re tender, perfectly sweet, and coconut-y, which is why they remind me of snowballs. I couldn’t resist. Let’s do this! This recipe requires just 7 ingredients, 1 bowl, and less than 30 minutes to make! Yes, baking can be that easy. It all happens in the food processor where you’ll blend some shredded unsweetened coconut into a fine meal. Next comes coconut oil for moisture and to help them brown. Maple syrup adds natural sweetness, vanilla a subtle vanilla flavor, and aquafaba more moisture plus binding power! All that’s left is a little salt to balance the sweetness, and some cornstarch (or arrowroot), which helps add structure and more binding to the cookies. Then, it’s off to the oven. After a short bake, these little guys are ready to enjoy. Crisp and golden on the outside, tender and sweet on the inside. Swoon! You can dig in right away, or let them cool and dunk or drizzle them in dark chocolate! Either way, it’s a total win-win. We hope you LOVE these cookies!
