Coconut Macaroons

October 23, 2019

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

My sons and I were looking for some ways to use up egg whites and didn’t want to make meringue so we searched in some cookbooks we have. We found a recipe for coconut macaroons and decided to try them. They were delicious and simple to make.

You can shape them any way you want – we went with a free style spoon version.

Prep Time 10 minutes minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes minutes
Servings 20 cookies

Ingredients

  • 3 large egg whites
  • 100 g caster sugar
  • 200 g desiccated coconut
  • 60 g dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 160C
  • Line a baking sheet or tray with baking paper
  • Whisk the egg whites until stiff
  • Add the sugar in 3 batches and whisk until the sugar has dissolved
  • Fold the desiccated coconut into the mixture. make sure to do this gently so no air is lost
  • Using a dessert spoon, spoon the mixture onto the baking sheet and spread out a little.
  • Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown
  • Remove from the oven, leave to cool for a few minutes on the sheet and then move to a wire rack to cool further.
  • Once cool, melt the chocolate and coat one half of each macaroon with some chocolate. The easiest way to do this is to dip the macaroon in the chocolate
  • Put the macaroons into the fridge to allow the chocolate to harden
