Macaroons!!

MACAROONS
1 1/3 cups flaked sweetended coconut
2/3 cups sugar
2 egg whites
1/2 tsp canilla
1/4 tsp almond extract
pinch of salt
4 ounces sliced almonds, crushed.
Chocolate
Parchment Paper
Wax Paper or Tin Foil

In a bowl combine coconut, sugar, egg whites, vanilla, almond extract and salt. Mix well.
Fold in crushed almonds. Cover and refridgerate for 1 hour or overnight. 


Preheat oven to 350*. Line baking sheet with Parchment Paper {uh, parchment paper is a must. I did a batch with and one without-- bigger mess without and nicer cookie with!}. Spoon balls of about a Tablespoon onto the sheet about 1 inch apart. 
Bake 15 minutes, or till the tops start to get light brown. Cool cookies. 
{hint: I just slipped the Parchment paper off on to the counter, and did a new batch with new paper, so much faster than waiting!}
Warm your chocolate in a dish, microwave, like 30 seconds, stir, then micro in 15 second intervals till stirs smooth. Pick the cookie up and dip the bottom into the chocolate {or, you can scoop it onto the bottom with a fork, that was faster I thought!} lay chocolate coated cookie onto wax paper or tin foil. I did a little drizzle on the top of the cookie too, for fun. 
Stick 'em in the fridge! Let the chocolate set up, EAT. 
No Milk, No flour, and delicious! The first cookie that's GFCF that my boy is addicted to! 
Hooray! And they are SO EASY TO MAKE!
