Kokosmakronen (Dutch Macaroon)

1/9/2015

   Lets talk about cookies! These light and tasty darlings are gluten free, so simple to make, freeze well, and um, actually, I think I covered every point!

Kokosmakronen

Ingredients:

  • 2 egg whites
  • 3/4 cup of sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups of shredded coconut
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 Tbsp gluten free flour blend (regular flour works just as well too if you aren't worried about these being gluten free) 

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 300 Degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside
  2. Using a hand mixer (or stand mixer), beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then slowly add in the sugar while continuing to beat
  3. Keep beating until the sugar has dissolved. To test if it's dissolved you can pinch some egg white between your fingers and rub them together. It can still feel a bit grainy from the sugar, but not too much
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the coconut, salt and flour together, then carefully fold this mixture into the beaten egg whites
  5. Scoop up 1 tablespoon-ful of the cookie dough (small pampered chef style scoop makes them perfect if you have one) onto the prepared baking sheets
  6. Bake for 13-15 minutes. The cookies will be all-over lightly golden when they are done. They may also seem a little underdone in the centre, but they will set up as they cool.

   My gluten-free skeptic son loved these cookies! He gave them his stamp of approval by devouring 2 in about 60 seconds and then asking for another with his mouth still full. I said "no", by the way. :) But the compliment was noted!
   Whip up a batch, do it, c'mon.
   So, truth be told, I am gruuuuumpy today!
   I'm not 100% sure why.... :(  How's everyone else feeling? I'm wondering if it's just the day?
   I got outside stacking/piling wood for a while (sunshine, fresh air, etc.), but it did little to ease my seriously pessimistic outlook! I've got my middle child home today with the chicken pox (so, phew, that makes all three having had them now!), and that's not making me grumpy. She is sweet and pleasant and isn't making me feel blue at all. 
   Anyway, whatever the reason, I hope you are happy today!
   I just thought, I might be feeling stressed about this weekend. The Belleville Theatre Guild is having their auditions for The Drowsy Chaperone on Saturday and Sunday, and I'll be involved with choreography and with auditions, and maybe I'm feeling pressure? Maybe I'm feeling sad because I want to be in the show, not just helping with it? I literally have no idea....I'm blog-counselling myself right now....just ignore me. 
   I'm gonna get more coffee.

I think you can still be in the play and help with it at the same time!
