These easy coconut, date, and banana macaroons are a moist and delicious cookie. They would also be perfect for Ramadan, the month-long celebration during which Muslims fast during the day. The fasting traditionally is broken by eating a date at sunset. Ingredients:
1 banana |
1/2 cup baking dates (or very moist dried dates, pits removed) |
1 (200 g) package sweetened flaked coconut |
1 teaspoon almond extract |
12 -15 whole american almonds or 12 -15 marcona almonds |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375°F Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, use a fork to mash together banana and dates. Add coconut flakes and almond extract, then mix well.
3. Divide dough into 12-15 pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
4. Arrange balls on a prepared baking sheet, then press 1 almond into top of each cookie.
5. Bake 10-15 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom but still soft. Let cool before serving.
