Categories     dessert

Time 55m

Yield about 30 chicks

Number Of Ingredients 6

One 14-ounce bag sweetened coconut flakes
1/4 cup prepared lemon curd
4 large egg whites
Pinch fine salt
15 small orange and/or yellow jelly beans
60 mini chocolate chips (about 2 tablespoons)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Combine the coconut, lemon curd, egg whites and salt with a spatula in a medium bowl until a uniform consistency.
  • Roll generous tablespoons of the mixture into egg shapes, setting them big-side down onto the prepared baking sheets. Repeat with the rest of the mix. Bake until the bottom and a few of the coconut frays turn deep golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut the jelly beans in half lengthwise and set aside.
  • Remove the macaroons from the oven and let them cool enough to handle, but are still warm, about 5 minutes.
  • Take one of the jelly bean halves and pinch an end to make a pointed beak. Hold the point, shiny-side up, and push the rounded end into the side of a macaroon. Push 2 mini chocolate chips, peak-side in, into the macaroon on either side of the beak for eyes. Repeat with the rest of the macaroons and serve.

LEMON MACAROONS

Categories     dessert

Time 38m

Yield 30 macaroons

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 cups almond flour
1 vanilla bean, scraped
5 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 lemon, zested
Nonstick spray

Steps:

  • These cookies are light and fun to make. They can be a great fall or winter addition to some chocolate treats.
  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. In a medium bowl, sift together the powdered sugar and almond flour.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the 5 egg whites for 1 minute to combine. Add the cream of tartar and continue beating the whites on high speed until soft peaks form, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the scraped vanilla bean seeds and continue beating until it is fully incorporated and the whites are glossy, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the bowl from the mixer and use a rubber spatula to gently fold in the lemon zest and the powdered sugar mixture.
  • Coat 1 or 2 large baking sheets with a layer of parchment paper. Spray the paper with a thin layer of nonstick spray. Put heaping teaspoonfuls of the batter about 2-inches apart on the tray(s). Take care to leave the space between each mound because this batter spreads as it bakes.
  • Put the tray in the center of the oven and bake for 8 minutes, then raise the temperature to 375 degrees F and bake until the cookies are golden brown around the edges and form a nice shell-like exterior, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before gingerly removing them from the tray with an offset spatula. Take care! They can stick to the paper.
