Cómo preparar Mounds Macaroons
- Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together 8 ounces (2 sticks) softened cream cheese, ½ cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter, and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon almond extract, and 1 tablespoon grated orange peel.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in 2 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut.
- Add 1 cup chopped Mounds candy bars and gently fold to combine.
- Spread 1 ¼ cups extra shredded coconut onto a plate.
- Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop or two tablespoons, roll dough into 1 ½-inch balls.
- Roll each ball in the extra coconut to coat.
- Arrange the coconut-coated balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cookies are puffed and the coconut is lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
- Melt 4 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave until smooth. (Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring until melted).
- Drizzle melted chocolate across the cooled cookies using a fork.
- Refrigerate the cookies for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
