Coconut Macaroons
Description
Coconut Macaroons combine sweetened flaked coconut with sugar, flour, salt, egg whites, and vanilla extract to create a batter that forms small, rounded cookies. The recipes bake at a moderate temperature, placing the baking sheets in the lowest oven positions and switching them midway for even browning. The macaroons develop a lightly golden base while remaining chewy inside.
The texture is defined by the sweet coconut flakes balanced with a slight firmness from the flour and egg whites. Vanilla provides a subtle aromatic note. Once cooled, the macaroons hold their shape, making them suitable for snacking or dessert service.
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, and they also freeze well wrapped in plastic and placed in a freezer-safe container. They should be brought back to room temperature before serving after freezing.
Ingredients
- 2 ⅔ cups sweetened flaked coconut (recommend Baker's Angel Flake sweeted coconut)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 egg white
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease two baking sheets and set them aside.
- In a medium bowl, use a fork to stir together the coconut, sugar, flour, and salt.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg whites with a fork until frothy.
- Add the egg whites and vanilla to the coconut mixture. Stir with a fork until well mixed.
- On greased baking sheets, drop the batter by rounded teaspoonfuls.
- Place the two baking sheets in the lowest positions in the oven. Bake for 16-18 minutes or until lightly browned on the bottom, switching places with the baking sheets halfway through baking.
- Remove from oven and cool completely on wire racks.
Notes
- Store coconut macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- For longer storage, freeze tightly wrapped macaroons in plastic wrap inside a freezer-safe container for up to six months.
- Allow frozen macaroons to come to room temperature before serving to restore texture and flavor.
