Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180° C or 355° Fahrenheit.
• Distribute 30 Oblaten (paper wafers) on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• Beat the egg whites with the vanilla extract and ¼ of the sugar until peaks form.
• Combine the shredded coconut and remaining sugar in a bowl, then gently, using a rubber spatula, fold in with the beaten egg whites until just combined (no more chunks).
• Using a small cookie scoop or 2 small spoons, distribute the cookie mixture onto the 30 Oblaten.

KOKOSMAKRONEN (GERMAN COCONUT MACAROONS)

Steps:

• Prepare a water bath. The water should cook lightly.
• In a bowl mix egg whites and sugar. Place the bowl in the hot water bath and mix to dissolve sugar.
• Add coconut flakes and mix. Heat the coconut mixture to a temperature of 70 C (use a cooking thermometer to control temperature) stirring frequently.
• Remove from water bath, add flour and mix again. If you like you can now add the grated lemon peel to this mixture.
• Let cool to room temperature again.
• Preheat oven to 160°C.
• Place baking wafers on baking tray.
• Use an icing bag with large opening to place little dough dollops on the wafers. Leave a little rim, because while baking the cookies will flatten a bit.
• Bake for 10 minutes. Then open the oven a little and bake for another 5 minutes.
• The cookies should remain light in color and just a bit browned.
• If you like you can decorate the Kokosmakronen with icing chocolate.
• NOTE on chocolate decoration: preheat 2/3 of the chocolate in a water bath until fluid. Take out of water bath and add the rest of chocolate. Heat it again but just until chocolate is dissolved. Dip Kokosmakronen into the chocolate or drizzle over the cookies by using an icing bag.
• NOTE on wafers: If you don't have wafers at hand, you could spoon the dough directly on baking paper, but it might be tricky to remove the cookies from it later, because they stick to it.

COCONUT AND MARZIPAN MACAROONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
• Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until foamy. Continue beating until stiff peaks form.
• Combine marzipan with 1/2 of the confectioners' sugar and rub with your fingers until mixture resembles bread crumbs. Add coconut, remaining confectioners' sugar, lemon zest, and rum. Mix well. Fold in stiff egg whites.
• Using 2 teaspoons, drop small dollops of mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the macaroons are golden but soft to the touch, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Place 3/4 of the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in remaining chocolate until melted.
• Dip 1/3 of each cooled macaroon into the melted chocolate. Set macaroons on waxed paper until chocolate has set. Store the macaroons in an airtight container, with waxed paper between the layers.
