Coconut macaroons are significantly easier than their counterpart, the French macaron. Both still require well-whipped egg whites, but macaroons have a larger margin for error while still being gluten-free and dairy-free. With a fluffy, slightly chewy, slightly crunchy texture, these crowd-pleasing cookies are great for tea time or big parties.

Makes 20 cookies.

Difficulty: Medium

Baking time: 10 to 12 minutes

Ingredients

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whip egg whites and Stevita until stiff peaks form. The peaks should hold their shape when you lift your whisk.
  3. Gently fold the shredded coconut into the whipped egg whites until combined. You don’t want to lose the air bubbles!
  4. Roll a spoonful of macaroon mixture into a small, firm ball and place on the tray. Make sure to evenly space your macaroons.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes depending on oven and humidity.
