How to make the best coconut macaroons
This recipe is so simple! Honestly you just mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl. No special order needed. No beating or whisking. Just mix everything together well in a bowl.
The drop by rounded tablespoonfuls on a parchment lined baking sheet. I love to use my cookie scoop for nice uniform cookies.
Bake at 325 for 18-20 minutes or until the edges are golden. Cool on a baking rack. ENJOY!
Gluten Free
These cookies not only taste incredible but they are gluten free too! I love to use almond flour, but you can use any flour you choose for these cookies.
Also, double check that your vanilla extract is gluten free. I love to make my own vanilla. It’s easier than you think.
Chocolate Dipped
Want to take these one step further? Go above and beyond. Melt some chocolate chips according to the package and dip your finished macaroons half in chocolate. Talk about out of this world. Mmmm….
Storage
Just store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to enjoy.
