Coconut Macaroons

These coconut macaroons are one of the simplest cookies you can bake. A handful of ingredients, no flour, and they come out golden and gorgeous every time. Crispy edges give way to a soft, chewy coconut center. Dip them in chocolate if you want to be a hero.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups medium shredded coconut
  • ¾ cup Duck River honey
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp Redmond Real Salt
  • Optional: dark chocolate chips (Enjoy Life) for dipping

*Bolded ingredients are products we typically carry at Tare Bulk Foods.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, honey, egg whites, vanilla, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the coconut is evenly coated.
  3. Scoop tightly packed tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared sheet, shaping them into mounds.
  4. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes until the tops and edges are golden brown.
  5. Cool completely on the pan. They are fragile when hot.
  6. Optional: melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler, dip the bottoms of the cooled macaroons, and set on parchment to harden.

Notes

  • Pack the mixture tightly when scooping so the macaroons hold together.
  • For a tropical twist, add ¼ cup finely chopped dried mango.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
