Coconut Macaroon



Salam to all,

Made this coconut macaroon today in an attempt to finish off the egg whites from making the prune layer cake.  This is the last of the egg whites that were left.  I have used the rest for cooking.....used it to coat the beef snitchel that I made for dinner 2 nights ago.




This recipe doesn't call for many ingredients and I only got 23 pieces of macaroons.  I hope it will be finished in 1 sitting so that I can bake again once they are gone hehehez ;)  The coconut aroma wafting from the oven makes me want to munch on kuih bangkit right now yummzzzz.  The macaroon is a little crunchy on the outside yet chewy in the inside.

I left the macaroons plain, without the glaced green cherries for the topping bcos hb and Jannah doesn't like glaced cherries.




Adapted from : The AWW Macaroons & Biscuits

Ingredients :
2 egg whites
1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup (35g) plain flour
1 1/2 cups (120g) desiccated coconut
6 glace cherries, quartered

Method :
Preheat oven to 150 deg C / 300 deg F.  Grease oven trays, line with baking paper.
Beat egg whites in small bowl with electric mixer until soft peaks form.  Gradually add sugar, beating until dissolved between additions. 
Stir in extract, sifted flour and coconut in two batches.
Drop level tblsps of the mixture onto trays, abt 5cm (2 inches) apart.
Place cherry quarter on top of each macaroon.
Bake abt 30 mins.  Cool on trays.



What an irony...last night, I dreamt that I got a tooth pulled out and yet since 4pm today I am suffering from a toothache.  Have taken Nurofen Zavance but the pain hasn't subside....oooouuuwww I'm in pain *sob* *sob* :'(

Sian you..sakit gigi adalah sakit yg tidak best, kankankan?

Cantik rupa biskut tu. I used to bake coconut cookies during my hay days. I added a small drop of esen ijau n merah (separately) into the dessi. coconut then baru I drop the adunan, so in the end I'd get 2 biskut rona ijau n merah, hehe.. I remember your HB tak sker colorful desserts kan??

Cik Som,

Smalam sakit gigi ter intense sgt2 mcm nak tumbuk dinding pun ada. Tapi I sabar sbb kalau dinding dah berlubang nanti adakan nak kena repair dah lagi satu hal lah plak hehehez.

Mmg idea yg bagus tu add colouring to the coconut. Kalau buat utk raya mesti best...tapi tak tau lah this cookies can last long ke tak. I luv the coconut mcm kuih bangkit. Tapi nak kena kurangkan gula lah.....adeeehhh sakit gigi :ppp

Rima,

Alhamdullilah hari ni I feel better, masih ada lingering pain :( mmg nak kena cabut lah ni wisdom tooth. Dah tua2 simpan pun buat sakit jer nak buat apa haiiizz. Smalam sakitnya tak boleh tahan whoaaaa mcm nak nangis puna ada huahuahua. I've booked a dental appointment....hopefully it wont cost 2k like u....uwaaaaa giler tu mana nak korek hehehehez. Boleh buat gigi emas!!!

My hb is the opposite plak...he luvs biskut2/roti2 yg ada coconut but not the kuih2 melayu. He no like......
