Mouth-watering macaroons are a delicious sweet treat made with coconut, egg whites, honey, and almond and vanilla extracts. These light and chewy cookies are perfect for any occasion, from dessert to after-school snacks, and they are also gluten-free. The crunchy coconut flakes, combined with the soft and fluffy cookie, create a perfect balance of texture and flavor. These treats are so easy to make that you can have them ready in less than 30 minutes, plus they store well in an airtight container for up to a week, so you can enjoy them anytime you want.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.	In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites until foamy. Add in the sugar, honey, almond extract, and vanilla extract, whisking until well combined.
3.	Add in the flour and coconut, stirring until just combined.
4.	Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about an inch apart.
5.	Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
