Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 large egg whites
3 T. honey
1 t. pure vanilla extract
1 c. shredded coconut, unsweetened
¼ t. salt

Steps:

  • Place the top oven rack in the center position and pre-heat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper or a Silpat® baking sheet and set aside.
  • Using a hand mixer, briskly beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the honey, vanilla, coconut, and salt into the egg whites with a spatula until thoroughly combined. Do not overwork, but it may require a few folds for the ingredients to start to incorporate with one another.
  • Scoop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving plenty of space in between to prevent overcrowding.
  • Transfer the baking sheet into the oven and bake until the cookies become golden brown on top and around the edges, around 12-14 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 egg whites
1/3 c. honey
2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. salt
10oz. unsweetened flaked coconut (about 5 cups)
1/8 tsp. ground cardamom
1/2 tsp. powdered ginger
1/8 tsp. ground cloves
1/8 tsp. ground allspice
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 c. whole wheat pastry flour
10 oz. bittersweet chocolate (wafers, chips or chopped)
Maldon sea salt flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until you have medium-firm peaks. Mix in the honey, vanilla, salt and spices. Fold in coconut. If liquid is weeping and pooling at the bottom of the bowl, add one tablespoon of flour at a time until mixture holds together but still moist. You may not need the entire 1/4 cup.
  • Form heaping mounds of about 2 tablespoons of the coconut mixture onto the prepared sheet pans, placing about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned on top and bottom. Remove from the oven and let cool completely. While the macaroons rest, melt the chocolate over a double boiled or in the microwave.
  • One by one, dip the macaroons into the melted chocolate. Use a fork to gently lift the macaroons out of the chocolate and transfer to a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper. Once all the macaroons have been dipped, using a fork drizzle chocolate over the macaroons and finish with a sprinkling of maldon sea salt. Let the macaroons sit until the chocolate is set and enjoy!
