Coconut Macaroons

Courses: Dessert
Serves: 12 people

Recipe Ingredients

4 cups 372g / 13ozSweetened shredded coconut - (14 oz)
1 1/2 cups 297g / 10ozGranulated sugar
1 cup 198g / 7ozEgg whites
1/2 cup 31g / 1.1ozAll-purpose flour
2 teaspoons 10mlPure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon 1.3mlSalt

Recipe Instructions

Line a baking sheet with kitchen parchment and set aside. In a heavy saucepan, combine all of the ingredients and mix thoroughly. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent scorching, until the mixture is fairly dry and stiff, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

Using a #20 (1/4-cup) ice-cream scoop with a release mechanism, scoop up level portions of the mixture and place them about 1 inch apart on the lined baking sheet. Transfer baking sheet to a 350 degree oven and bake until the macaroons are golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Remove the baking sheet to a wire rack to cool for about 5 minutes, then peel the macaroons from the parchment and place directly on the rack to cool completely. (Macaroons may be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.)

This recipe yields 1 dozen large cookies.
