How to Make Secret Ingredient Macaroons With Macadamias Or Almonds
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of finely crushed saltine crackers, 4 cups sweetened shredded coconut, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup of chopped macadamias or almonds.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each macaroon.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let the macaroons cool completely on the baking sheets for at least 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, melt 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips (or double for a richer coating) in a double boiler or microwave.
- Once the macaroons are cool, dip the bottoms halfway into the melted chocolate (half-dip) or spread a layer of melted chocolate on the bottom for a surprise frosting.
- Chill the chocolate-dipped macaroons for 15 minutes before serving.
