Coconut Macaroons with Lemon<\/span><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

2 Egg Whites
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>1\/4 teaspoon Cream of Tartar
\n<\/span>3\/4 cup Berry Sugar (caster sugar in .au)
\n<\/span>2 cups Flaked Coconut<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Optional Add ins:
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/span>Vanilla
\n<\/span>Almond Flavouring
\n<\/span>Lemon Juice<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Optional Toppings:
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/span>Strawberry, Raspberry or Cherry Jam
\n<\/span>Lemon Danish Filling
\n<\/span>Chocolate, melted for drizzling or dipping<\/span><\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 325F (160C)
\n<\/span>Line baking tray with baking paper.<\/span><\/p>\n

In large CLEAN, absolutely no greasy residue, stainless steel or glass mixing bowl beat egg whites and cream of tartar to soft peaks.
\n<\/span>Add sugar, a tablespoonful at a time, beating until thick and glossy. (this is the tedious bit but you know it is so worth it!)
\n<\/span>Stir in Flavouring(s) of your choice; I use about 1 1\/2 teaspoons of Vanilla and 1 teaspoon of Almond Extract
\n<\/span>Fold in coconut.
\n<\/span>Spoon large teaspoons of mixture onto prepared baking tray.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until firm and showing a hint of colour.
\n<\/span>Remove from oven and place on wire cooling rack.<\/span><\/p>\n

Carefully slide a metal spatula under each macaroon; the macaroons will form a crisp outer shell as they cool so I like to loosen them from the baking paper before they set.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Variations:
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/span>After spooning out mixture, with slightly wet fingers, even out the surface of the macaroon and then make indent in the centre of each one
\n<\/span>Place a scant amount of jam in each indentation.
\n<\/span>Bake as directed.
\n<\/span>Once cool, you can either drizzle each macaroon with a bit of melted chocolate
\n<\/span>or
\n<\/span>Dip 1\/2 of the macaroon into melted chocolate; place on wire rack and allow chocolate to set.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bet you can’t eat just one.<\/span><\/p>\n
