macaroon madness

I'm still on my coconut kick...but it is starting to die off. Last weekend I was sprinkling some coconut on something and the macaroon recipe on the package caught my eye. Years ago when I was newly married I made a batch and I thought it was high time to whip some up.

They were seriously so amazing!

Toasted on top and chewy in the middle. I may have to make them again this weekend and dip them in chocolate for my boys, they would love that extra touch!

Macaroons (Recipe from Baker's Coconut)
1 pkg (14 oz) Baker's Angel Flake Coconut
2/3 c sugar
6 T flour
1/4 t salt
4 egg whites
1 t almond extract

Preheat oven to 325*. Grease and flour baking sheets; set aside. Combine coconut, sugar, flour, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in egg whites and almond extract until well blended.

Drop coconut mixture with a tablespoon into 36 mounds, 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.

Bake 20 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Immediately remove from baking sheets to wire racks. Cool completely. Store in tightly covered container.
