Time 1h10m

Yield about 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup dried apricots, finely chopped
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
Finely grated zest of 1/2 lemon
3 cups (about 8 ounces) finely shredded unsweetened coconut

Steps:

  • Arrange the oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together the sugar, apricots, vanilla, salt, egg whites and lemon zest in a large bowl. Add the coconut and toss until completely coated. Spoon heaping tablespoonsful of the dough onto the baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch between each mound. Moisten your fingertips with water and shape each macaroon into a pointed mound or pyramid.
  • Bake, rotating the pans halfway through, until the cookies are toasted and the edges are lightly browned, 16 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool. Store macaroons in an airtight container for up to a week.

These macaroons are a waste of time and ingredients. They're dry, crumbly, and flavorless.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my macaroons didn't turn out right. They were too flat and didn't have any chew to them.

These macaroons are a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more butter or oil next time.

I had a hard time finding unsweetened coconut flakes, so I used sweetened coconut flakes instead. The macaroons still turned out great, but they were a bit too sweet for my taste.

These macaroons are a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think they would be perfect for people who like their desserts on the sweeter side.

These macaroons are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. They're also a nice gluten-free option.

I was a bit skeptical about making these macaroons because I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I was pleasantly surprised. The coconut flavor is subtle and doesn't overpower the apricot.
