Time 55m

Yield 24 macaroons

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 large egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (14 ounce) package sweetened flaked coconut
1/2 cup soft dried apricot, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat over to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (I used foil but - I now know - parchment would have been better. : ).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together egg whites, sugar, almond extract (if using), and salt until frothy. Add coconut and apricots; mix to combine.
  • Using your hands, shape mixture into mounds, each equal to 2 level tablespoons; place 1/2" apart on prepared baking sheet (macaroons will not spread).
  • Bake until lightly golden, 35 to 40 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through (I forgot this step). Transfer macaroons to a wire rack to cool completely (I didn't do this because they kinda stuck to the foil but peeled away nicely once cooled). Store in an airtight container at room temperature, up to 1 week (if they last that long - lol).
  • Makes about 20 (I got 24).

I've never made macaroons before, but these were so easy to make and they turned out perfectly. I'm definitely going to make them again.

These macaroons are the perfect combination of sweet and tart. I love the way the coconut and apricot flavors play off of each other.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed these macaroons. The apricot flavor really balances out the coconut.

These macaroons are a great make-ahead dessert. I made them a few days ahead of time and they were still fresh and delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly and my macaroons turned out flat and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These macaroons were a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall they were still good.

These were delicious! I used dried cherries instead of apricots and they were still amazing.

I love these macaroons! They're so chewy and flavorful. I always make a double batch because they disappear so quickly.
