Ingredients
-
4
Egg Whites
-
1/4 cup
Honey
-
1 teaspoon
Pure Vanilla Extract
-
1 teaspoon
Pure Almond Extract
-
3 cups
Unsweetened Coconut Flakes
-
1 tablespoon
Arrowroot Powder
-
1/4 teaspoon
Coarse Sea Salt
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Whip the egg whites until they are fluffy, but not stiff. I use a hand mixer and it only takes a couple of minutes, but if you don’t have one, use a whisk and hang in there, it will take a few minutes.
-
Mix the honey, vanilla extract, almond extract, coconut flakes, arrowroot powder and sea salt in a bowl, then add the mix to the eggs. Careful! You want to fold them in and try not to overdo it. The more you mix the eggs, the less fluffy they will be when they are cooked.
-
Next, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. It will make removing the cookies simple and clean. If you don’t have parchment paper, you’ll want to lightly grease the baking sheet.
-
Once you have the baking sheet lined, drop about a tablespoon of the mixture onto the sheet. Space your macaroons 1-2 inches apart.
-
Bake on the middle rack for 12-15 minutes. You will see that the tops will brown and a toothpick will come out clean.
