Coconut macarons with cornflakes topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- Whites of 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cups of sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups sweet coconut flakes
- 2 cups cornflakes
- 110 g milk chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp. l. coconut oil
- Silver nonpareil, for decoration
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites, sugar, vanilla, and salt until foamy. Stir in the coconut and cornflakes. Scoop 1 tablespoon of the coconut mixture, pressing it with your fingers, and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2-5 cm (1-2 inches) apart. Shape each mound into a pyramid shape.
- Bake until cookies are slightly firm and golden brown, 25-35 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Meanwhile, combine the chocolate and coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted, about 2 minutes, stirring. Let cool slightly.
- Dip the bottom of each coconut cookie in chocolate, letting any excess drip back into the bowl. Sprinkle with nonpareils. Transfer the cookies to a large plate or baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate hardens, at least 30 minutes.
