Method

To make the Soft Coconut Macaroons, pour the coconut into a bowl, add the sugar and stir quickly.
Then mix in the egg whites with a spatula to get a moist, evenly mixed batter.
Transfer it to a pastry bag fitted with a star tip of about 15 mm and pipe small mounds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 200 °C (400 °F) for 10 minutes, until the tops of the macaroons are lightly golden.
Let the Soft Coconut Macaroons cool completely before removing them from the baking sheet, so they don’t break. Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!
