Coconut Macaroon
Classic Cookies Recipe

Almond paste gives these macaroons an extra dimension of flavor and a wonderfully moist, chewy consistency.

Ingredients

Serves 18 cookies

1	7-ounce tube	almond paste*
3		egg whites
1/2	cup	sugar
1/4	cup	flour
1/8	teaspoon	salt
2	teaspoons	almond extract
1	teaspoon	vanilla extract
2	7-ounce packages	coconut, sweetened flaky

*Find almond paste in the baking section of your local supermarket.

Directions

Preheat oven to 325°

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Place the almond paste, egg whites, and sugar in the bowl of your electric mixer using the medium speed, and mix until you have a smooth, thick, goo consistency.
Add the flour, salt, almond and vanilla flavorings, and mix well.
Remove the bowl from the mixer stand and fold in the coconut.
Place heaping tablespoons of batter one inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Use a 1 3/4-inch ice cream scoop for uniform cookies.
Bake for 22–24 minutes, or until they become a pale golden brown.
Remove from the oven, let rest for 10 minutes, and transfer the macaroons to a cooling rack.

Preparation time: Approximately 35–40 minutes.
