PERFECT COCONUT MACAROONS
After falling in love with a local bakery's coconut macaroon, I attempted to create a duplicate version at home. This is what I came up with.

- Line baking sheet with new piece of parchment paper.
- Melt chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over just-barely simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching.

FIRST-PLACE COCONUT MACAROONS
These coconut macaroons are my husband's favorite and earned me a first-place ribbon at the county fair. I especially like the fact that this recipe makes a small enough batch for the two of us to nibble on without lots left over. -Penny Ann Habeck, Shawano, Wisconsin

GRANDPA'S FAVORITE COCONUT "MACAROONS"
I originally found this recipe in a Duncan Hines holiday insert from some magazine. I have no idea how old it was when I found it, but it was 1993 when I made the discovery. Knowing my grandpa loved coconut, I decided to make these for his Christmas gift. HE LOVED THEM!! So what did I do? I promptly lost the recipe during a move! I searched and searched for it, but was unable to find it. I very recently got the recipe, except it was not complete as it quite obviously did not have enough liquid. I made the cookies and guessed 1/3-1/2 cup of oil would be about right, and it was. This was originally made with Duncan Hines Golden Sugar Cookie mix, but it seems they no longer make that... I successfully substituted the Betty Crocker 17.5 ounce version with no problem.

GRANDMA'S CORN FLAKE COCONUT MACAROONS
A fast and easy recipe that is great for mailing to friends and family, festively snowy white, and very tasty with a pleasantly crunchy and chewy texture. This recipe originally comes from my great-grandmother and has been handed down through four generations. My Grandma Sally makes these almost every year for Christmas and it is one of my favorite Christmas cookie recipes. The cookies will be chewy-crunchy when finished cooling, not gooey.

THE BEST COCONUT MACAROONS EVER!
I have lost my macaroon recipe and was trying to find a new one on the web. However, there was not one that seemed to me was the "correct" recipe so I have composed my own recipe from memory. Most recipes did not use egg whites and instead added flour which made no sense to me since they are not cookies... I must say that MY recipe is absolutely delicious and the best macaroon recipe out there :)

Steps:
- Before starting to create the mix, I would suggest (i.e. It is optional) to take an empty bowl (metal would be the best) and a wire whisk (or whisk attachment for an electric whisk) and put them in the freezer for about an hour.
- Take your kitchen utensils out of the freezer and drop the two egg whites into the bowl. If you have an electric whisk set it on high and and whisk the eggs until they form medium peaks.
- In another bowl mix the coconut, condensed milk and vanilla extract. Transfer the egg whites from the other bowl into the coconut mixture by folding the egg whites into it.
- Get some baking pans and line them with wax paper. Drop the mixture onto the sheet. The amount of each dropping should be about an ice cream scoop or about two tablespoons.
- At one point you should have set your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit... Once your oven is heated up put your pans in the oven and bake the macaroons for about 25 to 30 minutes (or just look at them and wait until they are golden brown (not dark tarnished gold brown but shiny gold brown)). When removing the macaroons the wax paper may get a little stuck to it because they are so sticky... The best way to try to avoid this is removing them while hey are hot.
- Optional Steps Follow.
- After the macaroons have cooled you can dip them in chocolate if you would like. To do so put a bunch of chocolate chips (whichever chocolate you prefer, I prefer milk chocolate) and put them into a microwave safe bowl and put the bowl into the microwave until the chocolate chips have melted and stir.
- Take one macaroon at a time and dip them in chocolate as much as you like. Put the macaroons on a plate (I would suggest having refrigerated the plate first) and put them in the fridge for about an hour or two and you will have delicious chocolate covered macaroons :).
