Coconut almond macaroons

Not to be confused with macarons, macaroons are chewy coconut cookies that are super simple to make and naturally gluten-free. This version uses a bit of condensed milk to make them creamy and rich as well as some whipped egg whites to lighten them up. The result is a perfectly chewy and fluffy macaroon. A little almond extract and some toasted nuts make them reminiscent of Almond Joy candy bars and take them to new heights. If you’re short on time, skip the chocolate dipping step and simply drizzle them with the melted chocolate and sprinkle with nuts.
