Time 2h25m

Yield 42

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups flaked coconut
9 candied cherries, each cut into halves, if desired

Steps:

  • About 30 minutes before making macaroons, place an egg separator over a small bowl. Crack each egg over the egg separator to separate the yolks from the whites. (Save egg yolks for another recipe.)
  • In a clean large bowl, place the egg whites, and let stand at room temperature up to 30 minutes.*
  • Heat the oven to 300°F. Line cookie sheets with a sheet of foil or cooking parchment paper.
  • Add the cream of tartar and salt to the egg whites. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until foamy. Beat in the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time; continue beating until stiff and glossy--do not underbeat. Pour into a medium bowl.
  • Sprinkle the almond extract and coconut over egg white mixture. With a rubber spatula, cut down vertically through the batter, then slide the spatula across the bottom of the bowl and up the side, turning the batter over. Rotate the bowl a quarter turn, and repeat this down-across-up motion. Continue folding just until ingredients are blended.
  • For each cookie, scoop a teaspoonful of dough, using a tableware spoon, and push it onto a lined cookie sheet with another spoon or rubber spatula, placing cookies 1 inch apart. Place 1 cherry piece on each cookie.
  • Bake 20 to 25 minutes or just until edges are light brown. Cool on cookie sheets 10 minutes, then remove cookies from foil to a cooling rack, using a turner. Cool cookie sheets 10 minutes between batches.
