⅓ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Love these! So easy to make--so tasty! I often double or triple the recipe. The dough is VERY stiff. Kids love to help-make sure they wash their hands well, and use hands to mix the dough. So fun!

Provided by Liberty Mendez

Time 45m

Yield Makes 10-12

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 eggs, whites only
80g caster sugar
150g desiccated coconut
1 tsp vanilla paste
90g dark chocolate

Steps:

  • Whisk together the egg whites and caster sugar in a large bowl for 2-3 mins until light and frothy, and the sugar has dissolved. Add the coconut, a pinch of salt and the vanilla, then stir until combined. Leave to stand for 10 mins.
  • Heat the oven to 170C/150C fan/gas 3½. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Scoop teaspoonfuls of the mixture and roll into compact balls, then arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 mins until golden.
  • Leave on the baking sheet to cool completely. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water, or in short 20-second bursts in the microwave. Tip the melted chocolate into a small bowl, then dip the bottom of each cooled macaroon into the chocolate and wipe off any excess. Arrange on a sheet of baking parchment, chocolate-side up, then put in the fridge for 20 mins, or until set. You can use any remaining melted chocolate to pipe in zigzags over the top, if you like, then leave to set.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, unsweetened coconut: Fresh coconut adds a delicious, natural flavor to the macaroons. If you're using dried coconut, be sure to rehydrate it in warm water before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the macaroons tough. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will help the macaroons hold their shape in the oven.
  • Be careful not to overbake the macaroons: Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly. Bake just until the edges are golden brown and the tops are set.
  • Store the macaroons in an airtight container: Macaroons can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Coconut macaroons are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of these delectable cookies that are sure to please everyone.
