Our friend Jeannette made these (without the chocolate dip) & they were very yummy.!!
With strands of coconut tangled together, these chewy gems look like mini-haystacks. Once baked, they’re incredible as is or dipped in chocolate.
Prep 15 min
Bake 18 min
Makes about 20 macaroons
2 egg whites, at room temperature
1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
1/4 cup (50 mL) granulated sugar
1/2 tsp (2 mL) vanilla
2 200-g pkg flaked sweetened coconut, about 4 cups (1 L)
Preheat oven to 300F (150C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using an electric mixer on medium-high, beat egg whites with salt until frothy, about 1 min.
Gradually add sugar and beat until stiff peaks form when beaters are lifted, 4 to 7 more min. Fold in vanilla and coconut. Drop 2 tbsp (30 mL) of coconut mixture on parchment.
Repeat with remaining mixture, placing 1 in. (2.5 cm) apart.
Bake in centre of oven until edges of macaroons are golden, 18 to 20 min. Remove baking sheet
to a rack. Cool completely. Store macaroons in an airtight container
at room temperature up to a week.
Chocolate-dipped:
Chop 6 oz (168 g) chocolate. Place in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium, stirring halfway through until almost melted, 2 to 3 min. Remove and stir until smooth. Partially dunk cooled macaroons in chocolate and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet until chocolate sets.
