Coconut Macaroons

A few days ago, I wanted to make something sweet, chewy ànd crunchy. For a change, I wanted something non-chocolate, raisin- or cranberry-free, nut- and seedfree.
And, obviously, it had to be very easy to make.

It turned out like this:


Coconut Macaroons!
Adapted from Momofuku.

Ingredients
- 1/2 + 1/3 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1/6 cup sugar (2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons)
- 1 1/5 tablespoons flour
- 1 egg white
- tiny splash of vanilla (or almond) extract

Method
Preheat oven to 325°F/160°C.
Combine coconut, sugar and flour.
Stir in the egg white and vanilla extract.
Make balls (as big as you want, I made little ones)
Put on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
Let cool and enjoy!



Watch the sun smiling at my macaroons!

They were amazing!
Just like I wanted: crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside and not too sweet.

  1. Coconut macaroons are one of my all-time favorites! I need to get my hands on that Momofuku book.
