Cloyingly sweet, one-dimensional coconut macaroons get a makeover with this simple recipe. We add sliced almonds for texture, fruit preserves for color and tangy notes and aniseed for licorice-like fragrance and flavor. The cookies are best eaten the day they’re made, but extras will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.

I was also afraid of the aniseed so I substituted 1/2 tsp cinnamon instead and also cut the sugar a bit (to 42g). These cookies are marvelous! Very easy to make and really really delicious!

I used anisseed extract and it was fine. Everyone loved them after getting over the shock that I wasn't really serving them raw meatballs😜
