COCONUT MACAROONS

Almond extract boosts the coconut flavor of these streamlined macaroon cookies. Make them-dipped in chocolate or not-for your next holiday cookie swap.

Provided by Gina Marie Miraglia Eriquez

Time 45m

Yield Makes 4 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

Refined coconut oil, melted, or neutral oil for preparing baking sheet
1 large egg white
1 tablespoon sugar
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon almond extract
¾ cup sweetened flaked coconut
Special Equipment: Parchment paper

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 300°F. Lightly brush a baking sheet with oil, then line with parchment and brush the parchment with more oil.
  • Whisk together 1 large egg white, 1 tbsp. sugar, ¼ tsp. vanilla extract, ⅛ tsp. almond extract, and a pinch of salt until combined, then stir in ¾ cup coconut. Divide coconut mixture into fourths and drop in 4 mounds (about 2 inches apart) onto prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake until tops are pale golden in spots, 15 to 20 minutes, then carefully lift foil with cookies from baking sheet and transfer to a rack to cool completely, about 15 minutes. Peel macaroons from parchment.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, unsweetened coconut: Fresh coconut will give your macaroons the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh coconut, you can use unsweetened shredded coconut, but be sure to toast it in the oven before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your macaroons tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the batter before baking: Chilling the batter will help the macaroons hold their shape better in the oven.
  • Bake the macaroons at a low temperature: Baking the macaroons at a low temperature will help them bake evenly without browning too much.
  • Let the macaroons cool completely before storing: Letting the macaroons cool completely will help them set and firm up.

Conclusion:

Coconut macaroons are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create these delightful cookies that are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give coconut macaroons a try!
