How to Make Marvelous Macaroons

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups (225g) sweetened shredded coconut, 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. Add 2 large egg whites and 1 teaspoon almond extract.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup (60g) chopped almonds.
  5. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Drop rounded teaspoons of batter onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch between each macaroon.
  7. Garnish with candied cherry halves, if desired.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the macaroons are set.
  9. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle with melted chocolate or dip the bottoms for an extra decadent treat!
