These coconut macaroons are my husband's favorite and earned me a first-place ribbon at the county fair. I especially like the fact that this recipe makes a small enough batch for the two of us to nibble on without lots left over. -Penny Ann Habeck, Shawano, Wisconsin

THE BEST COCONUT MACAROONS EVER!



The Best Coconut Macaroons Ever! image

I have lost my macaroon recipe and was trying to find a new one on the web. However, there was not one that seemed to me was the "correct" recipe so I have composed my own recipe from memory. Most recipes did not use egg whites and instead added flour which made no sense to me since they are not cookies... I must say that MY recipe is absolutely delicious and the best macaroon recipe out there :)

Time 55m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

14 ounces sweetened flaked coconut
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
2 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 ounces chocolate chips (see optional)

Steps:

  • Before starting to create the mix, I would suggest (i.e. It is optional) to take an empty bowl (metal would be the best) and a wire whisk (or whisk attachment for an electric whisk) and put them in the freezer for about an hour.
  • Take your kitchen utensils out of the freezer and drop the two egg whites into the bowl. If you have an electric whisk set it on high and and whisk the eggs until they form medium peaks.
  • In another bowl mix the coconut, condensed milk and vanilla extract. Transfer the egg whites from the other bowl into the coconut mixture by folding the egg whites into it.
  • Get some baking pans and line them with wax paper. Drop the mixture onto the sheet. The amount of each dropping should be about an ice cream scoop or about two tablespoons.
  • At one point you should have set your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit... Once your oven is heated up put your pans in the oven and bake the macaroons for about 25 to 30 minutes (or just look at them and wait until they are golden brown (not dark tarnished gold brown but shiny gold brown)). When removing the macaroons the wax paper may get a little stuck to it because they are so sticky... The best way to try to avoid this is removing them while hey are hot.
  • Optional Steps Follow.
  • After the macaroons have cooled you can dip them in chocolate if you would like. To do so put a bunch of chocolate chips (whichever chocolate you prefer, I prefer milk chocolate) and put them into a microwave safe bowl and put the bowl into the microwave until the chocolate chips have melted and stir.
  • Take one macaroon at a time and dip them in chocolate as much as you like. Put the macaroons on a plate (I would suggest having refrigerated the plate first) and put them in the fridge for about an hour or two and you will have delicious chocolate covered macaroons :).

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.

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.
