These fudgy delicious macaroons get rave reviews from so many people when I make them!
They actually have no flour in them!
Be careful with the bake time, there is a wide variance in the time. Macaroons are a delicate cookie and they don’t harden much while in the oven but they harden more after they come out of the oven. Every oven is different, so start with the lower time and keep checking the bottoms for a light brown color. Take them out even if they are soft to the touch. They will firm up as they cool.
Enjoy!
