Time 35m

Yield 20 cookies, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 (7 ounce) package sweetened flaked coconut
1/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons flour
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325.
  • Grease a large cookie sheet.
  • Whisk egg whites in bowl until frothy, then stir in almond extract.
  • Mix together coconut, sugar, flour and salt.
  • Gently stir egg mixture into coconut mixture to form a batter.
  • Drop tablespoons of dough 1 1/2 inches apart onto prepared cookie sheet.
  • Bake until edges start to brown, 18 to 20 minutes.
  • Transfer to wire rack to cool, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, unsweetened shredded coconut for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have sweetened condensed milk, you can make your own by combining 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup water, and 1/4 cup butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened and turned a light golden color.
  • To make the macaroons even more flavorful, you can add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract to the batter.
  • If you want the macaroons to be chewier, bake them for a few minutes less. If you want them to be crispier, bake them for a few minutes longer.
  • Let the macaroons cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. They will keep for up to 2 weeks at room temperature or up to 3 months in the freezer.

Conclusion:

These light and fluffy coconut macaroons are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. So next time you're looking for a delicious and festive dessert, give these macaroons a try. You won't be disappointed!
