Snow Capped Macaroons Recipes

Steps:

• Set a rack in the middle and top third of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. In a completely clean, dry mixing bowl, with an electric mixer, whisk the egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar until very foamy and almost creamy. With the mixer still running, sprinkle in the sugar. Continue to whisk on high speed until fluffy, thick, and shiny. Whisk in the vanilla. Fold in the pecans, coconut, and corn flakes.
• Drop walnut-size balls of batter onto nonstick or parchment-lined cookie sheets at 2-inch intervals. Bake for 15 minutes, turning the pans once, front to back, for even baking until lightly tanned and set on the surface. Set the cookie sheets on a rack to cool.

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg white; add remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly with your hands or a wooden spoon. (It's very stiff so I used my hands). Using your hands, shape into 2-inch-tall trees, using your fingertips to make pointed tops. Place about 1 1/2" apart on the baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until trees are firm and lightly browned. Cool in pan on a wire cooling rack for at least 30 minutes. (I trimmed edges with a small, sharp paring knife). Just before serving time, sift confectioners sugar over the top of trees.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk the egg whites, sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, orange zest, salt and vanilla in a large bowl until combined; fold in the coconut.
• Scoop heaping tablespoonfuls of the coconut mixture about 1 inch apart onto the baking sheet. Use your fingers to form into pyramids. Bake until golden brown around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
