Norwegian coconut macaroons or kokosmakroner are a popular easy to prepare a Norwegian Christmas cookie. I love this recipe because most of the ingredients are items I keep stocked in my pantry year round, so whipping up a batch doesn’t usually require an extra trip to the supermarket. These cookies are gluten free and delicious. Be sure to use unsweetened shredded coconut for these cookies so they don’t turn out too sweet.
