Naturally Gluten Free Macaroons

I recently started eating gluten free, I had originally thought I was lactose intolerant, but gluten free made me feel SO much better. I have hunted all over for recipes for my sweet tooth, here is one that is not only sweet but could be made into CHOCOLATE Macaroons with a little ingenuity! This recipe was so quick, it took longer to take out and put away the ingredients than to mix it up.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 6
• Yields: 12 cookies

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄3 cups coconut, medium flaked
• 1⁄3 cup icing sugar
• 2  tablespoons  rice flour
• 2  egg whites
• 1⁄2 teaspoon  almond extract

Directions

1. Mix coconut, sugar and rice flour together, add the egg whites and almond extract, the egg whites don't have to be beaten, just broken up a bit with a fork.
2. Drop heaping about a tablespoon full on a WELL greased baking sheet. Should only make 12 cookies.
3. Bake for around 15 minutes at 325 degrees until the edges and top are browning.
