Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, almond flour, and shredded coconut until well combined. Set aside.
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until they become frothy.
- Add in the cream of tartar and continue to beat until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add in the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites. Beat until the egg whites form stiff peaks.
- Add in the vanilla extract, coconut extract, and salt, and mix until well combined.
- Using a spatula, gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg whites until the batter is smooth and well mixed.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
- Pipe small circles of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each macaron.
- Tap the baking sheet gently on the counter to release any air bubbles in the batter.
- Allow the macarons to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to form a skin on the surface.
- Bake the macarons for 15 minutes or until they're lightly golden brown.
- Allow the macarons to cool completely on the baking sheet before removing them.
Notes
- These macarons can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- You can also freeze the macarons for up to 1 month.
- You can use different colored coconut shreds for a fun and festive touch.
