Germans love to bake, especially around Christmas. I wanted to provide you with an abundance of recipes so that you do not just have to nibble on that one cookie whilst everyone else enjoys 3 β 4. These recipes are a bit different from my usual blog posts. Shorter, with no educational parts, but a section to give you hints and tips so that they all turn out perfect. One photoshoot, 8 recipes over the next two weeks. Enjoy! 🤗
I love, love, love these orange chocolate macaroons. They are simply gorgeous, divine and super tasty! I am so happy with how these turned out. It took me several attempts to find the right balance of orange, coconut, and chocolate – but this version is perfect 💫 .

These cookies look fancy – but I promise they come together super easy and can be made in no time.
Tips for baking these Orange Chocolate Macaroons
- Gluten-free baking is a bit different than normal baking. As there is no βglutenβ, which basically binds the dough, we are addingΒ psyllium huskΒ to the mix. This will act as a binding agent. The dry dough has to be mixed very thoroughly in order to ensure that theΒ psyllium huskΒ is everywhere and can βbindβ.
- Do ensure that the oven is sufficiently hot. Gluten-free baking requires your oven to be at the optimal temperature before putting something into it.
- I used an ice cream scoop in order to scoop out the perfect amount and make the Orange Chocolate Macaroons look pretty.
Mixing the wet and dry ingredients
These orange chocolate macaroons are gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and if you use vegan chocolate – vegan. Enjoy this delight of a macaroon!! I hope you will fall in love with them as much as we did 🤗.
