BAKER'S ANGEL FLAKE COCONUT MACAROONS
This is from the back of the Angel Flake bag of coconut. Soft, chewy, toothsome, with just a hint of almond flavor. Yummmmm. Let them 'ripen' a few hours before serving to let them soften. The edges can be a bit crispy straight from the oven.

Steps:
- 1. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper. (reuse for each batch) No need to grease. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and place rack in CENTER of the oven. Bake cookies 10 to 12 minutes, depending on your oven.
- 2. You will need a box of angel food cake mix and a bag of flaked, sweetened coconut, almond extract and water.
- 3. Using a hand mixer, mix the angel food cake and the water and extract together, on low, for one minute, then scrape the bowl and beat for one minute more. Gently fold in the coconut.
- 4. Drop the cookies by heaping teaspoon onto the baking sheet, two inches apart. (I do mine with a tablespoon because I like them bigger, takes one minute longer to bake them in my oven)
- 5. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes depending on your oven. Size of cookie also makes a difference in the time it takes to bake. Don't overbake the cookies! They should look like toasted marshmallows look when they are just barely starting to turn a tan color. See my photo.
- 6. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
- 7. Here is how they look.
- 8. Give a plate of these cookies as a gift!

Tips:
- Use superfine sugar for a smoother texture and to prevent crystallization.
- Beat the egg whites until they are stiff and glossy to ensure the macaroons have the proper texture.
- Do not overmix the batter, as this can cause the macaroons to be tough.
- Use a piping bag fitted with a round tip to create evenly shaped macaroons.
- Tap the baking sheet on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles from the batter.
- Bake the macaroons at a low temperature for a longer period of time to prevent them from browning too quickly.
- Let the macaroons cool completely before filling them.
