Coconut Macaroons


Who can resist a Coconut Macaroon?? Obviously my family can't! We ate the whole batch in ONE evening! Well, there was one left in the morning and Mark didn't take it to work - he left it for ME! I think that means he loves me! Ha ha.


My mother gave me this recipe, who actually got it from her best friend Martha Stewart. These macaroons are a REALLY "good thing". I was dissapointed because I didn't line the baking pan and they stuck to the pan. How sad. Maybe if I had been a little more patient and waited until they were completely cooled, I think they would not have stuck. Oh well. They're all the same in my stomach and Mark was more than happy to eat the broken ones!


Coconut Macaroons


3/4 c sugar

2 1/2 c unsweetened coconut

2 egg whites

1 tsp vanilla

pinch of salt


Combine ingredients. Line baking pan. Dampen hands. Drop by spoonfuls. Bake 16-17 min @ 325.

Note: If using sweetened coconut, decrease sugar to 1/4 c. It worked for me!
