Time 20m

Yield 12 cookies, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

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 your egg whites are at room temperature. This will help them whip up more easily.
Beat the egg whites until they are stiff peaks. This will help the macaroons hold their shape.
Add the sugar gradually to the egg whites. This will help prevent the egg whites from becoming grainy.
Fold the almond flour mixture into the egg whites gently. Be careful not to overmix, as this can cause the macaroons to be tough.
Allow the macaroons to rest for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help them develop a skin, which will prevent them from cracking in the oven.
Bake the macaroons at a low temperature. This will help them bake evenly and prevent them from browning too much.
Let the macaroons cool completely before filling them. This will help prevent the filling from making the macaroons soggy.

Conclusion:

Gluten-free macaroons are a delicious and elegant treat that can be enjoyed by people with and without gluten sensitivities. With a little planning and effort, you can make gluten-free macaroons that are just as good as traditional macaroons. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give gluten-free macaroons a try!
