Each year, we give homemade cookies out to our friends, family, clients, and colleagues. This season I focused on baking gluten-free desserts and cookies. This one is an oldie but goodie. It's delicious to give as gifts and looks pretty. Best of all, it is so easy to make. It took me less than half an hour to make. That's my kind of cookie recipe. I hope you try this gluten free chocolate chip macaroons and check it out.

Why I was inspired to make this recipe?
The Macaroons are great for anyone who has a gluten-free intolerance.
This recipe is one of my favorites because it also uses very few ingredients. With only five ingredients, it's a quick and easy recipe and perfect for our collections of cookie recipes.
Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Macaroons Ingredients
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 ¼ cups shredded unsweetened coconut medium to a fine mix
⅔ cup sweetened condensed milk
2 eggs white
½ cup chocolate chips

How to make these Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Macaroons?
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Pull all the ingredients together and measure them out.
Step 2: Mix the wet ingredients together: unsweetened coconut, milk, and vanilla thoroughly in a separate bowl.
Step 3: Beat egg white until stiff. Scrap the sides to make sure all the egg whites are fluffy and combined.
Step 4: Combine the two mixtures and fold in chocolate chips. Using a spatula, fold the chocolate chips evenly just until combined.
Step 5: Drop heaping teaspoonfuls onto greased or lined cookie sheets (Affiliate Link) about two inches apart from one another. They do not grow too much.
Step 6: Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees) 15—20 minutes or until browned lightly on top.
Step 7: After baking, let sit for a few minutes then transfer with a spatula to a cooling rack. If you move them too fast, they will lose their shape.

Everyone's baking at this time of year! These look very tasty and easy to make - plus I know so many people who are going the gluten free route. Thank you for the tip about coconut flakes, I didn't even realize that could be an issue. These look soooo good, I might just give them a try in the next little while!
