Time 20m

Yield 12 cookies, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/3 cups coconut, medium flaked
1/3 cup icing sugar
2 tablespoons rice flour
2 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Mix coconut, sugar and rice flour together, add the egg whites and almond extract, the egg whites don't have to be beaten, just broken up a bit with a fork.
  • Drop heaping about a tablespoon full on a WELL greased baking sheet. Should only make 12 cookies.
  • Bake for around 15 minutes at 325 degrees until the edges and top are browning.

Tips:

  • Use almond flour that is finely ground. This will help the macaroons have a smooth texture.
  • Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them whip up to stiff peaks more easily.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the macaroons tough.
  • Pipe the batter onto the baking sheet in small circles, about 1 inch in diameter. Leave about 2 inches of space between each macaroon.
  • Tap the baking sheet on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles from the batter.
  • Bake the macaroons at a low temperature for a long time. This will help them dry out and develop a chewy texture.
  • Let the macaroons cool completely before you fill them.

Conclusion:

Gluten-free macaroons are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. By following these tips, you can make perfect gluten-free macaroons every time.
