Almond Macaroon Cookies

Dec 15, 2021 (updated Nov 13, 2024) (6 Comments)

Almond Macaroon Cookies

I'm a huge fan of coconut macaroons and have a few versions on my site. This cookie tastes like a combination of a macaroon and an almond flour cookie rolled into one. What I also love about this cookie is that holds together well and is a bit denser than coconut macaroons, so it has a tender but solid bite to it.

They are easy to pull together and make a great snack. You can also make them a bit more decadent by dipping them in chocolate, or drizzling melted chocolate across the top.

You'll get about 16 cookies, and you can easily double the recipe to get a greater yield. These freeze well also, so more incentive to make a big batch and then grab them when needed.

To make them low carb, use low-carb maple syrup.

If you're looking for a nut free, flourless macaroon, try my recipe using shredded coconut. Enjoy!

    Must be cosmic mind reading or something - I was thinking about making macaroons and was going to wing it, then your recipe hit my inbox. Trying it today.

    -per the earlier reader’s (Anita’s) question about using coconut flour instead of shredded coconut, I don’t know that would work well. Shredded coconut isn’t as “aggressively absorptive” as coconut flour. I think the CF might make it too dense. Fresh shredded if it isn’t dried might add too much moisture - I would probably whip the egg whites to soft peaks to counter act that…

      Hi Ilana! I also have a few macaroon recipes, one of my favorite being the original made with only shredded coconut, so it's flourless: https://comfybelly.com/2009/03/coconut-macaroons/

    Hi Jen, these look amazing! Really want to make these, but wonder if I can use coconut flour instead of shredded coconut? Or can I use fresh shredded coconut? Thank you so much.
