How to Make Pumpkin Macaroons

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup chopped pecans, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and 2 cups shredded unsweetened coconut.

  5. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each macaroon.
  6. Let the macaroons rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
