So mouth-watering good!

Here's a question to ponder on before we get started:

Considering that they're both vegan,which one do you think is healthier: macaroons or chocolate?And why?

Do tell us what you think in the comments!

Macaroons.You put one in your mouth,you chew it,and all the deliciously,juicy goodness flows out of its crunchy shells...

And now vegans can experience this heart-melting love as well!

This recipe takes 20 minutes of preparation time and 25 minutes of cooking time.

Ingredients(for 15 servings aka 30 cookies):

• 7 tablespoons ground flax seed
• 21 tablespoons water (1/3 cup with 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon)
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 5 tablespoons hot water (each tablespoon just shy of a full tablespoon)
• 2 1/3 cups ground almonds
• 1 cup flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 10 drops almond essence

Directions:

1. Whisk the ground flax seed and 21 tablespoons of water in a bowl and let it stand for at least 2-3 minutes before use.
2. Using a hand mixer,beat the sugar and 5 tablespoons of hot water together in a large bowl for 2-3 minutes(allows some of the sugar to "melt").
3. Gradually add the flax mixture from step 1 and all the remaining ingredients and mix well.
4. Grease and flour a cookie sheet before placing the mixture in as 1 inch-wide balls of dough,each ball approximately 1 1/2 inches apart from each other.
5. Bake them at 350F(176.67C) for 25-30 minutes.Remove promptly to a wire rack and eat whenever you want!

Side note: If you want them to be chewy,do not allow them to brown at the edges,or they will be tough "nuts" to crack!

Enjoy the meltdown!
