Number of Product Reviews on Go Dairy Free to Date: 517 - Browse All Product Reviews Featured Recipe: Mocha MacaroonsCarol Kicinski recently joined Go Dairy Free as a new contributor, and the first recipe she shared with us was this easy GFCF Macaroon recipe. Carol lives gluten-free, but her sister is dairy-free, so Carol works to create dishes that they both can enjoy. See more of Carol's work on her blog, Simply... Gluten Free, and keep an eye out for her on Go Dairy Free.  2 egg whites – unbeaten- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup ground almonds [may be bought in stores as almond meal or almond flour]
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder – I use dark
- 1 tablespoon instant ground espresso or coffee granules
- Pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare 2 baking sheets with either parchment paper or Silpat Mats (I prefer these). Put all ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix until well blended. If you have a sticky, gooey, chocolaty mess then it’s perfect. Wet your hands with water and pull up a ball the size of a small walnut, and place on prepared pans leaving at least one inch between each cookie. You will probably have to re-wet your hands several times. Bake macaroons for 11 minutes. They will still seem a bit squishy when done but they harden up a little as they cool and you want the insides chewy. Don’t worry if the bottoms of the cookies look a bit sticky. Let cool on the pan for about 1 or 2 minutes then remove to a rack to finish cooling. Makes about 24 depending on size. For another sample recipe from Carol, try out this Chicken with Mushroom "Cream" Sauce.
