Ingredients
Beat egg whites until stiff. Mix thoroughly with almond paste and salt. Add sugar and beat thoroughly. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto slightly oiled baking sheet. Bake in moderate oven (375 F) about 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Set baking sheet on wet towel for a few minutes. Remove macaroons with a wide spatula. The almond paste may be made by pounding 2 1/2 cups shelled blanched almonds until a paste is formed. The Household Searchlight
Yes, coconut macaroons can be made without almond flour. Theoretically, any type of nut flour could be used in place of almond flour in macaroons, although each type of flour would produce a different tasting cookie.
I have no knowledge that they are. The original macaroon (a small sweet cake consisting largely of ground almonds and almond paste) was Italian.
Yes, you can use all purpose flour in place of almond flour. However, the resulting cookies would not be macaroons, but simple cookies without much flavor.

No, a macaroon is not a nut; it is a type of sweet confection typically made from egg whites, sugar, and shredded coconut or ground almonds. The most common varieties are coconut macaroons and French macarons, which are distinct from each other. While macaroons may contain nuts (like almond flour in French macarons), they themselves are a dessert, not a nut.
Coconut macaroons, as we know them today, are believed to have originated in Italy, specifically in the region of Venice. The name "macaroon" is derived from the Italian word "maccarone," which refers to a type of almond cookie. These treats were later adapted and popularized in various forms across Europe, especially in France. The combination of coconut, sugar, and egg whites became particularly popular in the 19th century.
Macaroons are made from ground almonds or almond paste (marzipan), sugar and egg whites. Use about 2/3 cup each of almonds and sugar and the white of one large or two small eggs. The three ingredients are beaten together with a pinch of salt until well combined (you can add a little almond extract, but not artificial almond flavour) and then shaped into small balls about 1 inch, or 2.5 cm, in diameter and placed on a baking sheet about 2 inches, or 5 cm apart. If you like you can press a whole almond gently into the centre. Bake at 350f or 180c for ten minutes, or until pale gold. Cool completely on a rack before storing in an airtight container lined with paper towels. The macaroons will keep about four days this way; don't refrigerate them. There are many macaroon recipes available; check them out to see which you prefer. Coconut is a popular ingredient. The link below has an excellent recipe from the Odense company which makes marzipan and almond products.
Rye bread is always an interesting option and it's fairly easy to make at home. You could also try almond macaroons/ricciarelli (Italian almond biscuits). Or Pinolate; Italian pine nut cookies. Bolle de Neve (Italian snowball cookies, again almond based.) Some recipes for Zaletti (cornmeal cookies) do not include wheatflour (although some do). You could also try making cornbread. Meringue and pavlova is always an option. So's popcorn. If you're feeling adventurous, try almond macarons (note, only one 'o'); much more difficult to make than macaroons, but worth it. You may wish to try experimenting with Spelt grains, however they do have some similarities to wheat. You could also try experimenting with "gluten free flour", since this happens to be wheat-free. It is designed to be used in the place of wheat-flour in most recipes, although results can be a bit variable.
