I love making these macaroons year round, and they are always a huge hit in my holiday cookie tins. The key is to use green and red holiday sprinkles to make them feel extra festive.
I use a food processor for these cookies, and this is one of the rare recipes where you really do need to have them for this specific recipe to come out right. It takes just a few minutes to make the "dough," then I use a small ice cream scoop to scoop the dough into perfect little mounds. They bake in ~25 minutes and make your house smell like heaven. While totally optional, I love to dip the bottoms of the macaroons into melted semi-sweet or dark chocolate once they have cooled.
These treats are gluten and dairy free (if you use a dairy free bittersweet or dark chocolate to dip them in). They keep for up to a week as well, if you're lucky to have any last that long!
Yields: ~24 macaroons.
