This recipe was a bestloved of my sister and I. We loved it when my mom would make these. When we were old sufficient to cook, the house always smelled like chocolate macaroons. I think we made this recipe regarding a couple of times a week. They are very easy to make and super yummy to eat! Another thing I like in regards to this recipe is that you don’t use a lot of dishes, so clean-up is a breeze as well. These cookies are outstanding if you are in a pinch and need to make something delicious in a hurry. Another great thing is the ingredient list is very short and most things I’m sure you will be capable to find in your very own kitchen.

I hope you take pleasure in making these macaroons as much as I know you will take pleasure in eating them.

What you need to make the macaroons:

2 cups granulated sugar

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup milk

6 tbsp cocoa

1/2 cup fine shredded coconut

3 cups oatmeal

1-2 cookie sheets waxed paper

1. Combine the basi four ingredients together in a huge pot and fetch to a boil for with regards to 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.

2. Take pot off of stove and add the coconut and oatmeal. Mix until everything is coated.

3. Place on a wax paper lined cookie sheet by heaping tablespoon-fulls. To have these cookies ready quickly, cool in refrigerator, or leave and let cool to room temp.

Enjoy!

Note: You may need to double batch these cookies as they will vanish fast!!!!

Just Wonderful!
By frank r barbara
Thank you, thank you!!! I have bought so many gluten free cookbooks and have had terrible results. Gluten Free On a Shoestring is very easy to follow..Nicole explains everything and makes it seem so easy to bake. I baked her Pound Cake and my husband (who does not need to eat gf) said he couldnt tell the difference. Nicole is witty, smart and clever. I had the wonderful opportunity to meet her and she was so informative, while being so down to earth. She understands that people dont want to eat gf foods that taste and smelly yucky. She understands that people want to be able to cook gf without a hassle, not to mention the cost of baking gf. I recommend this book to everyone that needs to be on a gf diet. Don’t waste your money on any other gf cookbook. I look forward to her next cookbook and will certainly buy it! Thanks, Gina

Survival guide for the gluten-free cook!
By mela
I am not a diagnosed celiac, but I was having extremely uncomfortable digestion problems that led me to an elimination diet. After just a few days of going gluten-free my body rebounded & ever since I have had normal digestion! I don’t need a doctor to tell me I’m feeling better.

ANYWAY–I found this book at a store in town & spent the evening flipping through it & drooling at the seemingly simple, delicious recipes. I ran home & ordered it off Amazon as quick as could be. I am so glad I did. The book begins with lots of tips on how to save money & feel confident in your new gluten-free kitchen. From where to shop to what to buy, Nicole is full of wisdom for those of us living on a shoestring budget.

The recipes I’ve tried have been a success & her instructions are clear and easy to follow. The bread recipes are to die for & I am especially in love with the simple popovers which are pictured on the cover of the book.

Buy it. Try it. You won’t be sorry!

Great information and easy to use/read!
By marnimcw
I am new to being gluten free and I appreciate the approach this book takes to living a gluten free life. I do not have Celiac’s disease but am making this change as part of treating Hashimoto’s disease (autoimmune thyroid disorder). I have not been one to do a lot of cooking, and am finding it very difficult to not only transition to being gluten free, and but also finding that I am spending a lot of time in my kitchen; as well as money trying to figure this out. I have never been one to want to recreate the wheel – so, the suggestions in this book are right up my alley. I appreciate very much the tips on how to save money, do the cooking without it being tedious or having to make do with food that is just ok. I am looking forward to putting her advice to the test. Also, thank you so much for making it available for the Kindle.
