ICON_CocktailsConfectionsToday we're launching a new series that matches cocktails to your favorite desserts. Email us a description or photo of a treat you'd like to drink and we'll make something divine! Today's confection is a banana coconut macaroon, made by Laughing Giraffe Organics, which we picked up at Whole Foods. The ingredients in these cookies are so basic and good that it was an easy food to replicate.

Here are the ingredients in the cookie (everything but the salt is organic): unsweetened coconut, agave nectar, almonds, extra virgin coconut oil, bananas, vanilla extract, and Himalayan pink salt.
