CRISP AND CHEWY COCONUT MACAROONS

Yum

These are so yummy and can't stop having just one. Perfect as a tea time snack or for holiday seasons. Give this a try.

INGREDIENTS

• Coconut -11/2 cup shredded or desiccated (i have used unsweetened )
• egg whites-3
• sugar- 1cup about 200 gms
• cake flour- 1 cup

PREPARATION

1. Add the egg whites and sugar in a heat proof bowl. combine them together
2. inorder to get that crispy outside and the chewy soft inside you need to place the bowl on a top of the boiling water to just warm the egg whites and sugar together. Just warming is enough, do not heat it.
3. Now add the cake flour to the egg whites mixture, fold nicely, as the cake flour will give thick chewy texture and holds well the macaroons.
4. next add the shredded coconut, mix well and refrigerate for about 2 hours to set.
5. Take a scoop of the mixture place it in a baking sheet greased with oil or you could also use the cake piping bag to pipe the mixture for better looking macaroons. i have used the piping bag for my macaroons.
6. Bake in a preheated oven for about 15 to 20 minutes until they are golden brown.

You could also dip the base of the macaroons in dark chocolates and wrap as a gift for the holiday seasons.
