Macarons are a type of light baked confection described as small cakes or meringue like cookies.Originally the macaroons were made of ground almonds.Most macaron recipes call for egg whites and are mixed with ground nuts or coconut.Coconut macarons are generally a type of popular meringue like cookies which has an egg white base and features dried coconut flakes.I usually buy the sweetened coconut flakes for baking and this time I just happened to look over the cover and found this recipe.It was a very simple one and so gave it a try.These macaroons when baked were a little crisp outside and soft inside; of melt in mouth consistency and kids just loved them :)
Ingredients
coconut flakes 1 1/2 cup
sugar granulated 1 cup
vanilla essence 1/2 tsp
egg white 2
salt a pinch
Method
-Take the egg whites,salt and vanilla essence in a bowl.Whisk the egg white mix till fluffy.(stiff peaks)
-Add in the granulated sugar and whisk again till its becomes silvery white and glossy.
-Fold in the coconut flakes .Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line a tray with parchment paper.
-Drop a spoonful of mix and slightly shape them into round with the back of the spoon .Leave a space of 2'' in between cookies.
-Place it in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
-Cool on wire rack and cookies are ready to serve!!

ReplyDeleteWe used to get these in Mangalore. My aunt would add a couple of drops of lime juice - perhaps to prevent crystallisation of sugar, or maybe to keep the white colour. I made it long long ago. Should attempt it once again. They are so delicious.
