Pecan Macarons


I love going to farmers markets. The music, the smells, the fresh veggies... unfortunately, now a days, being gluten free, I do not have the privilege of tasting and trying the different foods. Luckily, lately gluten free options are slowly being added to markets. This cookie recipe was inspired by one of my trips to the farmers market where I ate a delicious gluten free pecan cookie. It is super easy to make, give it a try!


2 cups ground pecans
2 egg whites
2 tbsp white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
½ tsp of cinnamon


- Heat oven to 350F
- Grind pecans in a food processor to a fine mill.
- Whip egg white with 1 tbsp sugar until stiff peaks. Fold in the rest of the ingredients. 
- Drop spoonfuls on a lined baking sheet or fill a half dome silicon pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes. The cookies will still be soft when warm so it is important to let them cool completely before sampling.
