Coconut Macaroons

3 large egg whites
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups flaked sweetened coconut
1/3 cup all-purpose flour

Pre-heat oven to 325 F. Lightly grease baking sheets or line them with parchment paper. Beat egg whites with electric mixer at high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, a little bit at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla and salt. Continue beating until whites form stiff glossy peaks. Gently fold in the coconut and flour. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets. Or, using a pastry bag and a large fluted pastry tube, pipe cookies onto baking sheet. Bake about 20 minutes or until golden. Carefully remove cookies to wire racks to cool completely.

Absolutely delicious and so easy to make. I'll definitely make this one again.

I tried piping the dough, but that didn't work at all, the coconut just clogged up the tip. Spooning the dough onto the pan worked fine. five stars

I wasn't as impressed with these as my husband and son seem to be so I am rating a 4. I think they needed more coconut and maybe toasting the coconut first. four stars

Rinse Marachino cherries and slice in half. Place a cherry half into each cookie before baking. Red or green can be used. These give the cookies a beautiful holiday color. five stars
