Calories: 118kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups sweetened coconut flakes
- ½ cup superfine almond flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ cup aquafaba (chickpea brine)
- 2 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon almond extract (or use 1 tablespoon amaretto liqueur)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the aquafaba, sugar, almond extract and vanilla extract in the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl, and whisk at high speed for two minutes until the mixture is all frothy. You don't have to beat the aquafaba to stiff peaks.
- Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and add the almond flour, coconut flakes, and the cornstarch to the bowl. Using a spatula, mix everything evenly.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Use a one-inch cookie scoop to scoop out the macaroons and space them about 1-inch apart on the cookie sheet.
- Bake the macaroons for 20 minutes. Remove and let them cool on the cookie sheet for five minutes, then transfer the macaroons to a rack to cool thoroughly.
