Sometimes, we all need a little something sweet. So why not treat yourself to a home-baked batch of coconut/pineapple macaroons? This crunchy-on-the-outside, chewy-on-the-inside snack will not only make your kitchen smell like a tropical paradise, but will taste like it too!
Ingredients (makes 2 dozen):
2 cups unsweetened dessicated coconut
1/2 cup diced dried pineapple
2 egg whites
2 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 cup white sugar
1 1/2 tsp white flour
Baking:
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
2. Beat the egg whites until fluffy, then add the sugar, flour, and vanilla essence, and keep stirring until dissolved and the mixture regains its thicker consistency.
3. Combine with the coconut and diced dried pineapple, mix well.
4. Scoop up the batter with a spoon, forming little mounds. Slide off and onto a baking sheet about 1-2 inches apart.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool on a cookie rack.
For the glaze: 2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp white sugar
4 tsp cocoa powder
In a small pot, combine all the ingredients and let them melt. Stir frequently and let cool for 5 minutes. Then, drizzle lightly with a spoon over the already cooled macaroons!
Style(and flavour) is served!
