Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add in the sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. This will create a light and fluffy meringue mixture.
-
Add in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, gently folding them into the meringue mixture.
-
Carefully fold in the shredded coconut and all-purpose flour until well combined. The mixture should be thick and sticky.
-
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small mounds. Leave some space between each cookie as they will spread slightly while baking.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown. The centers should still be slightly soft.
-
Once baked, remove the Kokosmakronen from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Enjoy these Kokosmakronen with a hot beverage of your choice and share them with friends and family for a taste of European indulgence.
