In this season of nursing, I’m eating more Crossovers to keep my milk supply up, and these no-bake Chocolate Macaroons have got to be one of my favorite ways to enjoy an XO! They’re also a great cookie for my growing kids who love them just as much as I do! Good thing this recipe yields 30 of ’em.

Taking just 10 minutes to whip up 30 cookies, these no-bake Chocolate Macaroons don’t require any special ingredients, either.

You’ll just need:

• cocoa powder
• butter
• unsweetened cashew milk
• sweetener (I used xylitol, but you can also use Gentle Sweet in half the amount)
• mineral salt
• vanilla extract
• oatmeal
• unsweetened finely shredded coconut

Oatmeal is amazing for increasing a nursing mother’s milk supply, so I’m enjoying these no-bake Chocolate Macaroons as a Crossover, but if you prefer a single fuel, you could omit the oatmeal entirely and replace it with more shredded coconut.

Crossovers are also wonderful for growing children, people at goal weight, and those with very active lifestyles. These no-bake Chocolate Macaroon cookies are guaranteed to be enjoyed by anyone you know who fits into those categories! A true, family-friendly cookie that couldn’t be more simple to make!

This incredibly easy Chocolate Macaroons are the perfect THM Crossover snack for growing kids, pregnant or nursing mamas, those at goal weight, and those with active lifestyles!

Substitute more coconut flakes for the oatmeal to make this an S snack instead of a Crossover.
