Best 6 Almond Coconut Macaroons Recipes

ALMOND-COCONUT MACAROONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat or parchment. Whisk together sugar and egg white in a large bowl. Stir in the remaining ingredients.
• Form dough into eight 2-tablespoon mounds, and drop each onto sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake macaroons until golden-brown on bottoms and edges, about 15 minutes. Let cool on sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer to wire racks, and let cool.

PASSOVER COCONUT, ALMOND, ORANGE, CHOCOLATE MACAROONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
• In a medium bowl, with electric mixer on high, beat egg whites into soft peaks. Gradually add sugar and salt, beating after each addition until peaks are glossy. Fold in vanilla and orange zest. Fold in coconut and nuts.
• With hands, roll heaping tablespoonfuls of mixture into rounds and set on baking sheets. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden. Cool on racks.
• Place chocolate chips in microwave-safe bowl and microwave at 25 second increments until chocolate chips are shiny.
• Dip bottoms of macaroons in chocolate.

COCONUT ALMOND MOCHA MACAROONS

Steps:

• Combine honey, cocoa powder, and espresso powder in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until cocoa and espresso are dissolved and mixture is smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Let cool, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until peaks start to form. Add sugar gradually, continuing to beat until a thick and glossy meringue is formed.
• Place almonds in a food processor; grind in short bursts until a fine meal forms.
• Stir almond meal, coconut, matzo cake meal, and vanilla bean paste into the cooled espresso mixture. Fold in 1/3 of the egg whites at a time until well mixed.
• Spoon out about 1 tablespoon of the dough and roll into a ball. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, placing macaroon balls about 1 inch apart. Press an espresso bean onto each macaroon.
• Bake in the preheated oven until firm, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove macaroons using a spatula; transfer to a rack to cool for 20 to 30 minutes. Place macaroons in an airtight container; let rest until set, 4 to 6 hours.

ALMOND COCONUT MACAROONS

Steps:

• Preheat Oven to 325 degrees.
• Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Pat the cherries with paper towels to remove excess syrup, and cut in half.
• Toasting Coconut: Heat up a non-stick 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat, spread coconut evenly in pan, and stirring constantly, watch as they start to turn golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.
• Break almond paste into small pieces and place in medium-size bowl.
• Add sugar and mix with almond paste until evenly distributed. I find a pastry cutter works really well for this.
• Add egg whites and mix well. You can use a fork for this.
• Mix in coconut until evenly distributed.
• Drop almond mixture by rounded teaspoonfuls onto lined baking sheets about one inch apart. I always fit three across and six rows lengthwise.
• Press cherry half gently into middle of cookie.
• Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Check after 15 minutes.
• Cool completely on the baking sheet on wire racks. Peel macaroons off parchment paper when completely cool. I have a Pampered Chef mini-spatula that slides under them and removes them easily. They just need to be cooled before you attempt to remove them.
• Store in airtight container.
• Hint #1. To remove almond paste from can, open both ends of the can, using lid on one end to easily push out the paste. (Be sure to buy almond paste, not almond filling. I made that mistake once!).
• Hint #2. You can use the coconut without toasting it, but it will look and taste a little different -- but still good!
• Hint #3. The original recipe never said to beat the egg whites, but I always scramble them with a fork in a small bowl until they're a little foamy.

Dip bottom of macaroon cookies in white chocolate, then almonds and place on wax paper to set. Drizzle remaining chocolate over tops of cookies. Allow chocolate to set before indulging.
