Delicious Coconut Macaroon Recipe

Hello my lovely readers! This past weekend I felt spontaneous and baked coconut macaroons. Needless to say they were delicious and thankfully I was able to make around two dozen with the recipe below! Enjoy x

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon flour

1 1/2 bag of coconut

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup granulated sugar

5 egg whites

To do:

Set oven to 400 degrees. On the stove top, use a heated double boiler and combine 5 egg whites to granulated sugar, until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat, and pour egg and sugar mixture into separate bowl to mix up to the point of the consistency of a thick meringue. Combine coconut and flour and pour into egg white mixture. Stir ingredients together until you create a strong batter to place on a non-stick baking sheet - I personally used parchment paper. 

IMPORTANT TIPS:

The recipe I used said to bake for 10-15 minutes. I found 8 minutes to be enough because the macaroons turned golden brown. If you want your macaroons to be lightly done, I suggest baking for 6 or 7 minutes maximum.

If you love coconut but find the amount of coconut to be much, melt dark chocolate in a double boiler and drizzle onto the macaroons. I find this cuts the sweetness and adds a beautiful touch. 

Another useful tip is to store in a dry place. I refrigerated mine though I found the macaroons to sit better wen they are at room temperature. Store in an oven, or container.
