Subbing out Agave in my Easiest Ever Chewy Coconut Macaroons
Hey Honey, Can You ever ‘Agave’ Me? – Some Baking Humor – Sorry! Well, instead of always using honey, I have often switched it up to Agave. You can too. Sometimes honey is not my food friend, and I have issues with it, so I opt for agave.
Drizzle Me That!
For those of you that are like, ‘where’s the chocolate?’ all I can say is, ‘I Know!’ When I make these, sometimes I add chocolate and sometimes not. The day I made these, I dunked them in melted chocolate on the bottom.
Don’t they look even more delish? You can also just drizzle chocolate across the top. Sinfully yummy!
Easiest Ever Chewy Coconut Macaroons – Time To Bake
These delicious, chewy coconut macaroons are a quick and easy treat you can enjoy anytime. Actual cooking time may vary slightly, so check after 10 minutes the first time you make them to prevent over-browning.
INGREDIENTS For Chewy Coconut Macaroons
2 large egg whites (I always use organic, but you don’t have to)
3 Tsp. honey (or sub in Agave)
1 Tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 C shredded coconut, unsweetened
¼ t. salt (optional)
Dipping chocolate wafers (optional)
Gadgets You Will Need To Prepare The Coconut Macaroons
Mixing Bowl (large)
Teaspoons and Tablespoon Measure Devices
Directions – How to Put This All Together
First, you need to properly position your cooking racks in the oven. Place the top oven rack in the center position. Next and pre-heat oven to 350° F.
After you have done that you want to line a large-sized baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper (my fave, use and toss!) and set aside. Do note that alternatively, you can use a or a Silpat® baking sheet.
Using a hand mixer and the ‘whisk’ attachment paddles, briskly beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Once the egg whites are stiff, you will not be using the hand mixer anymore.
Now it’s time to use a spatula that will allow you to gently fold the honey, then vanilla, and coconut. Follow that with the salt and the egg whites, until everything is thoroughly combined.
Key Note: Don’t overwork your mixture, just incorporate all the ingredients. Overmixing will create the mixture to flop.
Bring your parchment-lined tray to your work area and begin to use heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the paper. Do leave a few inches between each, otherwise, they will bake into one another. I do 2 cookies to a line width-wise, however, you could do up to 3 depending on your scoop.
Baking Time
It’s time to transfer the baking sheet into the oven. Allow the cookies to bake until they become golden brown on the top and around the edges. Each batch will bake between 12 and 14 minutes. However, if your oven has been working all day (when you are on a holiday) they might bake faster!
Once they are golden brown, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool. Generally, I just take the full piece of parchment paper and lay it across a cooling rack, reline the tray and go again with batch 2.
Do allow the cookies to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
If you choose to drizzle with chocolate wait until they are cooled, melt the chocolate and spoon drizzle across the tops and allow to dry. Or, dunk the bottoms into the melted chocolate and return to baking rack upside down to dry!
