Coconut Almond Mocha Macaroons Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the coconut, sugar, flour and salt. Add egg whites and vanilla; mix well., Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 325° for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Grease two baking sheets.
• Whisk egg whites in a bowl until frothy; stir in almond extract.
• Combine coconut, sugar, flour, and salt in a large bowl.
• Lightly stir egg white mixture into coconut mixture to form a batter.
• Scoop batter by the tablespoon and drop onto prepared baking sheet.
• Bake cookies in the preheated oven until edges start to brown, about 20 minutes.
• Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 300°F. Cover cookie sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Beat egg whites, cream of tartar and salt in small bowl with electric mixer on high speed until foamy. Beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time; continue beating until stiff and glossy. Do not underbeat. Pour into medium bowl. Fold in almond extract and coconut.
• Drop mixture by teaspoonfuls about 1 inch apart onto cookie sheet. Place 1 cherry piece on each cookie. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or just until edges are light brown. Cool 10 minutes; remove from foil to wire rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat or parchment. Whisk together sugar and egg white in a large bowl. Stir in the remaining ingredients.
• Form dough into eight 2-tablespoon mounds, and drop each onto sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake macaroons until golden-brown on bottoms and edges, about 15 minutes. Let cool on sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer to wire racks, and let cool.

Steps:

• Preheat Oven to 325 degrees.
• Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Pat the cherries with paper towels to remove excess syrup, and cut in half.
• Toasting Coconut: Heat up a non-stick 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat, spread coconut evenly in pan, and stirring constantly, watch as they start to turn golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.
• Break almond paste into small pieces and place in medium-size bowl.
• Add sugar and mix with almond paste until evenly distributed. I find a pastry cutter works really well for this.
• Add egg whites and mix well. You can use a fork for this.
• Mix in coconut until evenly distributed.
• Drop almond mixture by rounded teaspoonfuls onto lined baking sheets about one inch apart. I always fit three across and six rows lengthwise.
• Press cherry half gently into middle of cookie.
• Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Check after 15 minutes.
• Cool completely on the baking sheet on wire racks. Peel macaroons off parchment paper when completely cool. I have a Pampered Chef mini-spatula that slides under them and removes them easily. They just need to be cooled before you attempt to remove them.
• Store in airtight container.
• Hint #1. To remove almond paste from can, open both ends of the can, using lid on one end to easily push out the paste. (Be sure to buy almond paste, not almond filling. I made that mistake once!).
• Hint #2. You can use the coconut without toasting it, but it will look and taste a little different -- but still good!
• Hint #3. The original recipe never said to beat the egg whites, but I always scramble them with a fork in a small bowl until they're a little foamy.
