Not Your Typical Coconut Macaroon Cookies

I love the ‘idea' of macaroons and they always look so good with their pure sugary whiteness and dense but moist insides and wonderful coconuttiness. But for some reason, they never satisfied any of my cravings. I figured out that it's because the proportion of sugar is much higher than fat than any other cookie, since the only fat in macaroons is from the coconut. Now, I love the taste of coconut and love coconut oil, but for some reason there has never been enough fat in the macaroon to satisfy my cookie cravings… UNTIL NOW…

Gluten Free Almond Cookies Are So Good!

These cookies are very similar to the Hazelnut Shortbread recipe, just a few slight differences. I actually like them even better than the shortbread recipe though, perhaps because they are cooked in rounds and not bars, so have a chance to crisp a bit more. I love the sweet almond flavor paired with vanilla.

These cookies are filling and all you need is one, very satisfying and gluten free! They also have a lot less carbs than regular cookies, since they are flourless.

Hazelnut Almond Shortbread Cookies

This dessert recipe was part of the Nourishing Traditions Valentine's Day meal. It is a really good gluten-free recipe for shortbread cookies. Not only did everyone love this recipe, it makes a good little side dish to a pudding, ice cream, or mousse. Or topped with berries and whipped cream. In the picture to the left, this shortbread is the darker, shorter one that is decorating the lemon mousse. My sister-in-law preferred this recipe over the non-NT shortbread, thanks Heather!

 

These are extremely rich and flavorful, so little cookies are going to be just fine. I was surprised how satisfying one little piece was.

This recipe does not completely rid me of the need for typical shortbread (I'm still trying to develop NT version of shortbread – coming soon), but it sure comes close!

Below in the recipe directions are some things not included in Nourishing Traditions, about how to bake these for the best success on this recipe.
