COCONUT MACAROONS



Coconut Macaroons image

If you are a coconut lover, you'll want to make these moist, chewy macaroons all the time. Crisp on the outside and pillowy within, they take only a few minutes to put together and keep extremely well. Their perfect texture comes from fluffy sweetened coconut for softness and crunchier unsweetened coconut for more chewiness. Coconut flour, ubiquitous now because of gluten-free baking, is very absorbent and works beautifully to absorb the extra liquid that would otherwise run out of the macaroon, but matzo cake meal can be used during Passover and all-purpose flour any other time of year. Just double check that whatever you use is kosher for Passover.

Time 40m

Yield About 18 macaroons

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup/151 grams granulated sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon melted virgin coconut oil or neutral oil, like safflower or grapeseed
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or seeds from 1/2 vanilla bean (see Tips)
1 1/2 cups/128 grams sweetened flaked coconut (see Tips)
1 1/2 cups/128 grams shredded unsweetened coconut
2 tablespoons coconut flour, matzo cake meal or all-purpose flour (see Tips)
4 ounces/113.5 grams bittersweet chocolate, chopped
Flaky salt, for sprinkling (optional)

Steps:

  • Position racks in the top and bottom of the oven and heat oven to 325 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk egg whites, salt and sugar until creamy, thick and white. Whisk in 1 tablespoon of the oil and the vanilla.
  • Fold in the flaked and shredded coconut and the flour, mixing well so the coconut is evenly moistened. At this point, the macaroons can be baked, but you can also refrigerate the mixture in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Use a small 1-ounce cookie scoop to portion the coconut mixture (about 2 tablespoons per macaroon) and squeeze together in a ball. Space a few inches apart on the prepared sheets and rough up the texture a little with your fingers.
  • Bake, switching the pans from back to front and top to bottom, until golden on the bottom and toasty all over, 16 to 21 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer the macaroons to a cooling rack close together. Set the rack over one of the baking sheets (keep the parchment on) to catch chocolate drips during drizzling. Cool the macaroons completely.
  • Melt the chocolate with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon oil in a small saucepan over low heat and stir well. Drizzle the macaroons with the chocolate. Let the chocolate set a little in a cool place or in the refrigerator before topping with flaky salt. The macaroons can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 1 month.

CHEWY COCONUT MACAROONS

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes about 18

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 large egg whites
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together egg whites and sugar until foamy. Add coconut, vanilla, and salt. Mix well to combine.
  • Form coconut mixture into 1 1/2 tablespoonful mounds; place on parchment-lined baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
  • Bake until golden brown, 16 to 17 minutes, rotating halfway through. Let cool on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Coconut: Fresh coconut adds a delicious flavor and texture to the macaroons. If you don't have fresh coconut on hand, you can use unsweetened shredded coconut, but the flavor won't be as good.
  • Toast the Coconut: Toasting the coconut before adding it to the macaroons enhances its flavor and gives it a slightly crunchy texture.
  • Use a Food Processor: A food processor makes it quick and easy to grind the coconut and other ingredients together.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking helps the macaroons hold their shape.
  • Bake the Macaroons at a Low Temperature: Baking the macaroons at a low temperature helps them cook evenly without browning too much.

Conclusion:

Ginger coconut macaroons are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their chewy texture, sweet and spicy flavor, and beautiful appearance, these macaroons are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give these ginger coconut macaroons a try. You won't be disappointed!
