PERFECT COCONUT MACAROONS



Perfect Coconut Macaroons image

After falling in love with a local bakery's coconut macaroon, I attempted to create a duplicate version at home. This is what I came up with.

Provided by circoit

Categories     Desserts     Cookies     Macaroon Recipes

Time 1h20m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (14 ounce) package sweetened, flaked coconut
⅓ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
1 pinch salt
3 egg whites, room temperature
8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Blend coconut, sugar, flour, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt in a food processor until combined, about 30 seconds.
  • Beat egg whites in a bowl until soft peaks form.
  • Fold coconut mixture into egg whites until just combined.
  • Wet your hands. Roll spoonfuls of coconut mixture between palms to golf ball-size cookies; arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake cookies in the preheated oven until coconut is slightly golden and toasted, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, 30 minutes.
  • Line baking sheet with new piece of parchment paper.
  • Melt chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over just-barely simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching.
  • Dip half of each cookie in the chocolate and place on the prepared baking sheet. Place in refrigerator until chocolate is set, about 15 minutes.
