    Macarons and macaroons often get confused, but they are completely different! Macaroons are an American cookie made with coconut flakes, and are the French macaroons much easier to bake cousin, haha! 

    A french macaron is a French sandwich style cookie made with almond flour and sandwiched with a sweet frosting. Both are delicious in their own way, but here we will be making this recipe for gluten free Coconut Macaroons.
