Coconut Macaroons

This instructable will teach you how to make delicious coconut macaroons.

You will need:

14 oz shaved coconut

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 large egg whites

2 eggs

1/4 tsp kosher salt

1 cup brown sugar

2 Tbs flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 salt

I know it looks odd but it is great.

Mix together:

2 eggs

1 c. brown sugar

2 tsp. vanilla

2 tbsp. flour

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

Mix together the coconut and the brown sugar mixture you made earlier.

Next you have to separate your two remaining eggs. The easiest way to do this is to use an egg separator. that is the big yellow thing in the picture. to use it crack an egg open like you were making eggs and make sure the yolk ( the yellow part of the egg) lands in the center of the egg separator. Do this to both eggs.

Put the egg whites and kosher salt in the mixer on the high. beat until the eggs are a little stiff and look like snow.

Carefully fold together the coconut and the whipped egg. Also preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

Now line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

Note: The potato does nothing, but it is funny.

Now roll the macaroons into balls that are the size of ping pong balls (or bigger). put them in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 min.

You could also make them in a dutch oven with 15 coals on top and 9 coals on the bottom if you want to make this for a camp out.

Now eat your macaroons. this recipe should make 15-20 depending on how big you made them.
