Coconut Almond Macaroons

I apologize for not posting today. I had a very long day filled with baking, working on the holiday magazine for Kouzounas Kitchen, and more baking! (Oh I forgot and a recipe for all of you.) 🙂

Add some style to your macaroons with sliced almonds.

Coconut Almond Macaroons Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup of powdered sugar
• 2 cups of shredded coconut sweetened
• 2 tablespoons of all purpose flour
• 2 egg whites slightly beaten
• 2 teaspoons of vanilla flavoring
• a handful of sliced almonds
• Optional- chocolate for dipping

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees or 160 Celsius.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. In a large bowl combine the powdered sugar, coconut, flour, and almonds.
4. Add the beaten egg whites and vanilla to the bowl and mix to combine.
5. Dampen your hands with cold water and prepare to mold these macaroons.
6. Use about 1 1/2 tablespoons to form a ball.
7. Place each macaroon on a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Bake until golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack.
9.  If you want to do chocolate dipped macaroons, melt a block of baking chocolate and then dip the macaroons in.
10. I like to use a pastry brush, and brush half the macaroons with chocolate.
