Almond N Coconut Meringue Macaroons Recipes

COCONUT MACAROONS GERMAN STYLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whip egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff enough to make a mark through with a knife. Gradually sprinkle in the sugar, cinnamon and almond extract while continuing to mix on low speed. Fold in toasted coconut by hand. Spoon or scoop onto the prepared cookie sheets.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until cookies are dry and peel of the paper easily. Cool on wire racks and store in an airtight container at room temperature.

COCONUT-ALMOND MACAROONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Mix all dry ingredients well in a medium bowl.
• In a separate bowl combine egg whites, cream of tartar and coconut (or almond) extract. Beat them with a standing mixer or electric hand mixer until they form stiff peaks.
• Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring softly until all ingredients are combined.
• Place one tablespoon at a time onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving 2 inches in between macaroons. Flatten the top of each macaroon slightly with the back of a spoon or with your fingers. Press one whole almond into the top of each cookie if you desire.
• Cook for 15 minutes or until they are becoming slightly browned around the edges and are dry to the touch. Allow to cool before eating.

ALMOND-COCONUT MACAROONS

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.

COCONUT-ALMOND MACAROONS

Steps:

• Line three baking sheets with baking parchment, and pre-heat the oven to 160ºC.
• Beat the egg whites with the pinch of salt until they form soft peaks.
• Add the sugar, vanilla, coconut and ground almonds, and stir in well. You need quite a stiff mixture, so add a bit more coconut and/or almond if your mixture is too slack. If you like very sweet things, you may wish to add more sugar as well - taste a tiny bit to see if it is sweet enough for your liking.
• Divide the mixture into 24 blobs on your lined baking sheets, and pat into shape, pressing half a glacé cherry into the top of each blob. The macaroons will spread out when cooked, so leave a bit of space between them.
• Bake the macaroons for 15 minutes or so, until they are nicely golden brown. Remove from the oven and leave to cool on their trays. They will firm up as they cool.
• Peel off the paper, and enjoy!

COCONUT-ALMOND MACAROONS

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.
