COCONUT MACAROONS WITH A CHERRY TOP RECIPE - FOOD.COM



Coconut Macaroons With a Cherry Top Recipe - Food.com image

My mother made these at Easter but the recipe wasn't written down. After much research, I worked with the recipe from Diane Rattay on About.com, and modified it to add the maraschino cherries like my mom did. Be sure to whip the egg whites thoroughly until stiff and glossy. A bonus is that these are a non-fat cookie.

Total Time 40 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Yield 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 egg whites
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups flaked coconut
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
18 maraschino cherries, cut in half, well drained
2 tablespoons maraschino cherry juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300°. Line baking trays with parchment paper.
  • Place coconut in a large zip lock bag. Toss in 2 T. maraschino cherry juice and shake until coconut is pink. Set aside.
  • Cut 18 maraschino cherries in half. Drain on paper towels. Set aside.
  • Using a mixer, beat egg whites and salt at high speed until soft peaks form.
  • Sprinkle sugar in, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating well after each addition until sugar is completely dissolved (allow 2 minutes after each addition of sugar). Whites should be in stiff glossy peaks when you're done.
  • Beat in vanilla. With a rubber spatula, fold in coconut and flour.
  • Drop coconut by rounded teaspoon about an inch apart onto the prepared baking sheets. They won't spread very much at all. Place a half cherry on top of each cookie.
  • Bake at 300° for 20 minutes, or until lightly browned. Slide parchment paper and cookies directly onto a rack to cool.
  • Store in tightly covered container for up to 3 days.
  • Makes 36 cookies.

Yield Makes Biscuits

Steps:

  • Line baking sheets with non-stick liner or baking parchment
  • Set the oven to gas mark 4 or 180C
  • Tip the butter and sugar into a bowl and beat them together until smooth.
  • Add the beaten egg.
  • Add the coconut to the creamed mixture and then the flour.
  • Mix all the ingredients together to give a smooth, firmish dough.
  • Divide the dough into 16 pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Flatten the balls to about 4-5cm (1 1/2-2in) in diameter and place them on the lined baking sheets. The cookies spread slightly during cooking, so don't place them too close together. Press half a glace cherry on top of each biscuit.
  • Bake the biscuits in the centre of the oven for 15 mins (13 mins in a fan oven) or until they are a light-golden colour.
  • Remove the baking sheet(s) from the oven and leave the biscuits to cool for a few minutes, and then slide them on to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Storage and freezing tips: The biscuits may be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. They can also be packed in a freezer container and frozen for up to 1 month. Allow the biscuits to defrost, and then warm them through in a hot oven to refresh them before serving.
