Coconut Macaroons

Coconut Macaroons are chewy cookies made from sweetened flaked coconut mixed with sugar, flour, salt, egg whites, almond extract, and almonds. Baking until the edges turn golden brown produces a cookie with a crisp exterior and a moist, tender interior. The almond extract and nuts add a nutty aroma and crunchy texture, making these macaroons distinct and inviting for those craving a textured coconut treat.
