Since you know how much I love cookies, it seemed totally appropriate that I start the fall off with a new cookie recipe, right-right-right?
If you followed my posts in December you may have caught my teeny tiny mention of my macaroon fail. And, I don’t do failure…like at all…so I kept at it and I’m thrilled to kick off 2015 with my bangin’ new gluten-free macaroon recipe (insert happy dance and random cheerleading arms here)!
I originally attempted plain coconut macaroons with my homemade sweetened and condensed milk (the idea seemed grand, but they ran all over and made a huge, but very sweet mess). As the recipe developed, it changed into something even better than my first idea…coconut almond macaroons with dark chocolate drizzle!
I have several coconut lovers in this house (and I don’t make coconut treats very often), so I knew these cookies would get lots of attention and boy, was I right! Everyone loved them! Poof, gone! Jay said at least twice that he couldn’t believe they were naturally sweetened. They’re really that good! If you need a gluten-free sweet treat, you’ll definitely want to add these to your list of things to make!
