LEMON MACAROONS

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.

WHITE CHOCOLATE DIPPED LEMON MACAROONS RECIPE

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut, lemon zest, sugar, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, whisk egg whites until frothy. Add coconut mixture and vanilla to bowl and use a rubber spatula to fold dough together until combined.
• Wet your hands. Take about 1/4-cup dough and form into a mounded ball. Use your thumb and forefinger to slightly pinch the tops, if desired. Place macaroon on baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough. Bake until macaroons are slightly golden on top, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely.
• For Dipping: Set up a station for dipping with cooled macaroons, parchment, bowl of tempered chocolate, and forks. Dip each macaroon into the chocolate, either by holding the top and partially submerging it, or rolling it in the chocolate using a fork. Shake off excess over the bowl, then place finished pieces on parchment to set up in a cool dry place.
