ABOUT THE RECIPE:

Flaxseeds stand in for the egg whites in my delicious vegan version of the classic macaroon cookie. Chickpea flour (garbanzo flour) helps to bind these moist cookies together. The result is a flawless macaroon that is egg-, dairy-, and gluten-free! Now that IS jazzy.

Makes 24 cookies

2

INGREDIENTS:

2 tablespoons golden flaxseeds
1/4 cup, plus 1 tablespoon water
1 1/3 cups unsweetened shredded dried coconut
1/2 cup, plus 2 tablespoons brown sugar, cane sugar, or maple sugar
2 tablespoons garbanzo (chickpea) flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons dairy-free milk

3

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.

Put the flaxseeds into a high-performance blender or grain mill, and process into a very fine flour. Transfer to a small bowl. Stir in the water and whisk vigorously to combine. Let the flaxseed mixture stand for 10 minutes while prepping the rest of the ingredients.

4

Put the coconut, sugar, garbanzo flour, and salt in a large bowl and stir with a dry whisk to combine. Add the flaxseed mixture, vanilla extract, and dairy-free milk, and stir until well blended. For each cookie, drop about one heaping tablespoonful of the dough onto the lined baking sheet, using a cookie scoop or rounded spoon, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Flatten each macaroon slightly using a flat spatula.

5

Bake for 15 minutes. Decrease the oven temperature to 300 degrees F and bake for an additional 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies are slightly golden brown. Put the baking sheet on a wire rack. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them directly to the rack to cool completely. Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, the cookies will keep for four days.
