Lemony Almond Macaroons

Today is the first official day of SPRING (wait, why is it still 30 degrees in Chicago?).  As we welcome a new season I am excited to share this recipe for Lemony Almond Macaroons—light, sweet and easy to make.

Fall is my favorite season but spring is a close second.  There is something to be said for the grass beginning to green, the tulips starting to pop, warmer temperatures setting in, a new set of seasonal produce to eat and not to mention light, springy desserts to nibble on.

This Lemony Almond Macaroons recipe has been bookmarked for some time now.  This past weekend as I longed for spring I was compelled to try them out. Why have I waited so long? was the first question I asked myself.  These are delicious and remind me of almond joys without the chocolate (recipe idea?).

There are many reasons that I think this recipe is a winner and something you should put on your list to try this spring. The recipe only calls for 6 ingredients so you aren’t adding too many extra items to your grocery list. Second, they are simple to make and only require a little measuring, mixing and baking.

These Lemony Almond Macaroons are gluten-free and perfect for those looking for a sweet to share for Passover or something to welcome spring.

The recipe makes 24 macaroons but you can easily half the recipe to make less (I have a hunch these would be gone in no time). I shared these with cookies coworkers, our daycare provider, and a few friends and they were a big hit.

Spring temperatures may not be here but that doesn’t mean we can’t pretend…

      Thanks Karen. I liked the lemon in these! Not too strong but enough so you can taste it.

      Since I am not a baker like you these were up my alley–easy to make and didn’t take much time. You would love them. Let me know how they turn out.

    I’ve always been a macaroon purist until I saw some chocolate dipped ones today and now these lemony ones. I’ve been CONVERTED!

      The lemon isn’t too overpowering in these but more of a subtle addition which is nice. Chocolate dipped sounds like something I need to try soon.
