Coconut Macaroons
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup egg whites
- 3 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut
Instructions:
- Combine sugar, coconut and flour in bowl. Add extract to the egg whites and add to the coconut mix until blended.
- Adjust with more coconut until mixture is firm enough to hold its shape being scooped into a ball.
- Scoop out small rounds (2-tbsp size) and place on parchment paper. Allow to rest 20 minutes.
- Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit until lightly browned, about 8 minutes.
- Rotate the pan and bake another 6 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool.
- Melt the coating chocolate and dip the macaroon in the chocolate. Allow to firm up in fridge then keep stored in an airtight container.
*For gluten-free macaroons, replace the flour with corn starch.
