Ingredients (makes 12 macaroons):

- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

To make these delicious macaroons, start by preheating your oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.
Next, add in the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and peppermint extract. Mix until everything is well combined and the mixture is sticky.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, form the mixture into 12 small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press down slightly on each ball to flatten it slightly.
Bake the macaroons for 10-12 minutes, or until they are firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
While the macaroons are cooling, melt the dark chocolate chips in a small bowl in the microwave or over a double boiler. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled macaroons.
