How to Make Golden Macaroons

  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup all-purpose flour, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  3. Add 4 large egg whites, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
  4. Whisk rapidly until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  5. Gently pour the sugar and egg white mixture over the coconut mixture.
  6. Stir with a wooden spoon until combined, then use your hands to thoroughly blend until evenly mixed and the dough is cohesive.
  7. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  9. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  10. Drop rounded tablespoons of macaroon batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each mound.

  12. Bake for 17-19 minutes, or until the macaroons are golden brown and set.
  13. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the macaroons cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
