Time 20m

Yield 12 cookies, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/3 cups coconut, medium flaked
1/3 cup icing sugar
2 tablespoons rice flour
2 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Mix coconut, sugar and rice flour together, add the egg whites and almond extract, the egg whites don't have to be beaten, just broken up a bit with a fork.
  • Drop heaping about a tablespoon full on a WELL greased baking sheet. Should only make 12 cookies.
  • Bake for around 15 minutes at 325 degrees until the edges and top are browning.

Tips:

  • Pay attention to the type of coconut used: Unsweetened shredded coconut is the best choice for macaroons, as it provides a neutral flavor and a chewy texture. Avoid using sweetened coconut, as it can make the macaroons too sweet and dense.
  • Use a digital kitchen scale to measure ingredients: This will ensure accuracy and consistency in your measurements, which is essential for successful baking.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough and dry macaroons. Mix only until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Chill the batter before baking: Chilling the batter helps to firm it up and prevent the macaroons from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the macaroons at a low temperature: This will help to prevent them from browning too quickly and will result in a chewy texture.
  • Monitor the macaroons closely while baking: They can go from perfectly baked to overcooked in a matter of minutes, so keep a close eye on them.
  • Let the macaroons cool completely before enjoying them: This will allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.

Conclusion:

Macaroons are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their chewy texture and sweet, nutty flavor, they are perfect for any occasion. Whether you are looking for a gluten-free dessert option or simply want to try something new, macaroons are sure to please. With careful attention to the ingredients and baking process, you can easily create delicious macaroons at home.
