In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut, raw cacao powder, almond flour, and sea salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a sticky dough forms. Make sure all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and uniformly coated.
Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper.
Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls or small mounds. Place them on the prepared tray, leaving a bit of space between each piece.
Once all the macaroons are shaped, transfer the tray to the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
Store the macaroons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
