Ingredients for Best Ever Macaroons

  • 3 large egg whites
  • Sugar
  • Honey
  • Almond Extract
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Unbleached Flour
  • Unsweetened Dried Shredded Coconut

How to Make Best Ever Macaroons

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg whites until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add the granulated sugar, whisking continuously until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  4. Gently fold in the almond flour and shredded coconut until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pipe or spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each macaroon.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the macaroons are firm to the touch.
  7. Let the macaroons cool completely on the baking sheets before serving or storing.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
