Today’s Bake – Coconut Macaroons – 10-20-22

I don’t even like coconut, and these were amazing!!! I used a recipe from the new King Arthur Baking School cookbook I was gifted for my birthday with a few modifications: After the egg whites were frothy, added in the sugar and then beat on high for about 5 minutes until marshmallowy with almost stiff peaks. Then folded in the flavorings and coconut. BTW you can use unsweetened coconut if you soak it in a sugar syrup first for 15-30 minutes, then dry it on paper towels before folding it in. I baked at 325 for 18 minutes, needing two cookie sheets. These are topped with a dark chocolate-orange drizzle. Super fluffy, not too sweet, and very chewy. Excellent.
