Jennie’s Gluten-Free Macaroons are Made with Just Four Ingredients

There are a lot of great dairy-free products out there, and even some stellar dairy-free and gluten-free goods. But Jennie’s Gluten-Free Macaroons are AMAZING, in my humble opinion. Of course, you need to be a coconut fan to love these moist, dense, soft, rich cookies.

Jennie’s Gluten-Free Macaroons come in Classic and Chocolaty Varieties

Sadly, some of my beloved flavors of Jennie’s Gluten-Free Macaroons have been discontinued over the years. They no longer make the Chocolate-Covered (just Chocolate-Drizzled), Ginger, Carob, or Omega-3 varieties. But they still produce this core selection in a range of packaging options – from single-serve to club packs.

They have also changed the formula of Jennie’s Gluten-Free Macaroons a bit since I last tried them. They are still quite simple, but the prior ingredients were coconut, organic cane sugar, honey, and egg whites. You can see the current ingredients below. For that reason, I’ve removed my tasting notes. But you can leave your own unbiased rating and review below if you’ve tried them recently!
