Coconut Macaroons

Coconut Macaroons

Coconut macaroons as I remember them from childhood. An incredibly simple-to-make sweet treat and an excellent way to make something special from left over egg whites.

  1. Preheat oven to 160C/fan. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper and then the rice paper
  2. Mix the dessicated coconut, sugar, flour, salt, vanilla extract and egg whites togther in a bowl. The mixture should be 'gloopy' and sticky.
  3. Spoon the mixture into rounded 'dollops' onto the rice paper and cook in the oven, on the middle shelf, for 14-16 minutes until the macaroons are lightly golden brown. Allow to cool.
  4. Melt the dark chocolate over a bain-marie or in the microwave, then drizzle over the macaroons.

    Loved these! They turned out great without the rice paper. I made 12 bite size pieces but they went so fast I think I'd double the recipe next time.
