COCONUT MACAROONS



Coconut Macaroons image

These are some yummy cookies that my mom was able to get the recipe for from a cafeteria in Provo Utah. We were there for a wedding of a family member, and went to go get some cookies, and these were one of them. These are the best macaroons I have ever had, and you honestly can get a tummy ache if you eat too many. They are rich and satisfying, and wonderful with a cold tall glass of milk. You can also add a tsp of almond extract, if you like.

Provided by attilathehoney

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 30m

Yield 18-24 Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup powdered sugar
2 1/2 cups sweetened coconut
1/2 cup egg white
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Start first, I would suggest by preparing your baking sheet: Use parchment paper to line, definitely NOT foil. Making that mistake will cause horrible sticking and burning. Preheat your oven to 325.
  • In a large mixing bowl beat egg whites until soft peaks form (approx. 10 minutes by hand, 3-5 minutes by mixer).
  • If using Mixer, reduce speed and SLOWLY add the vanilla and then the powdered sugar. Gradually is the key here. Continue to mix for a minute or so longer or until all sugar is dissolved. If you are mixing by hand, add the vanilla and enlist the hands of a second person to help you pour the sugar in while you continuously whip the mixture. Ensure a smooth, light, glossy mixture.
  • Stop the mixer or put down your whisk and gently fold in your coconut about a cup at a time. Blend well.
  • Spoon the coconut mixture by approximate tablespoonfulls (rounded) onto the baking sheet and place immediately into the oven. Bake for 10-15 mins or until lightly browned on the tops. Garnish with cinnamon if desired.

PASSOVER BLACK & WHITE COCONUT MACAROONS



Passover Black & White Coconut Macaroons image

Better than the kind in the tin, homemade soft and delicious coconut macaroons, dipped in chocolate. YUM! (These will be gobbled up before the second seder, so make sure you get one at the first seder while you have a chance!) From Joan Nathan. Note: Zaar won't let me specify matzah cake meal, it only recognizes matzo meal. Be sure to use the cake meal variety.

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 50m

Yield 24-30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 1/2 cups unsweetenened shredded coconut (do not use sweetened!)
1/4 cup matzo meal (cake meal, not regular matzo meal)
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 large eggs
1 egg white
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate
1/4 cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F Cover 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Mix the coconut, matzoh cake meal, and 1 cup of the sugar together in a bowl.
  • Add the eggs and egg white and mix with your fingers until well blended.
  • Gently shape about two tablespoons of the dough into a pyramid and set on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  • Bake 25 minutes, cool.
  • In a saucepan melt the chocolate with the water and remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Bring to a boil then simmer slowly for a few minutes until the mixture starts to thicken.
  • Let the chocolate cool slightly. Holding a macaroon with 2 fingers, dip half the cookie in chocolate so that it is half-black and half-white.
  • Dry for a few minutes, tilted over a dish and place on wax paper. Repeat.

Tips:

  • Use fresh white bread for the best results. Stale bread will make the macaroons dry and crumbly.
  • If you don't have sweetened condensed milk, you can make your own by simmering 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of water in a saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
  • Be careful not to overcook the macaroons. They should be golden brown and slightly firm to the touch.
  • Let the macaroons cool completely before storing them. They will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These coconut macaroons are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for any occasion, and they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you have some leftover white bread, don't throw it away! Use it to make these delicious macaroons instead.
