Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups flaked coconut (unsweetened)
- 2 cups finely shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- ¾ cup sugar
- 3 Tbsp flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- 4 egg whites
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup chocolate as needed for melting and sandwiching macaroons together (good quality)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300º F (150º C).
- In a large bowl, combine both coconuts. (If you haven't invested in a scale, get one! It's so much more accurate than cups!)
- In another bowl, combine sugar, flour and salt, then add egg whites, honey and vanilla.
- Whisk at high speed until smooth (this won't take long, and it won't get thick.)
- Pour egg white mixture into coconut. Stir well with wooden spoon until evenly combined, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for half an hour.
- Shape into mounds on silicone or parchment lined baking sheet about 2" apart. If you would like to make macaroon sandwiches, just flatten the macaroons.
- Bake about 17 to 22 minutes, depending on shape, or until lightly brown on edges.
- Remove from tray with metal turner and place on cooling rack.
- When cool, sandwich the flattened macaroons together with some melted chocolate. You can drizzle some chocolate over the mounded macaroons, or just serve plain. Serve or store in a tin until needed. These will keep well for over a week.

Notes
- Omit the chocolate filling and you can make twice as many cookies.
