Coconut Macaroons

This is the fourth post out of twelve. Every Monday I am going to post a recipe from my Christmas cookie collection. I have already posted about my Almond Crescents, no cook S'mores and Almond cups.

These Coconut macaroons are so soft and chewy. Most coconut macaroon cookie recipes do not require any cooking prior to baking. These do require cooking. That extra step is worth it. It adds a great chewy texture on the inside.

1-1/2 cups shredded coconut

2- 1/2 cups granulated sugar

6 egg whites lightly beaten

2 tablespoons of corn syrup

2 teaspoon. vanilla

Put sugar, vanilla, egg whites and corn syrup into a medium pan and put heat on low. Stir in one egg white a time until mixture is thick and smooth. Remove from the heat and add Coconut. Drop Coconut mixture on a Cookie sheet covered in parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Makes 1 dozen.

Here is a sneek peek of the Christmas cookie collection over the next four weeks.
