how to cook Easy Coconut Macaroon Cookies?

STEP 1

To begin, preheat the oven to 175°C (350⁰F). Start by peeling the kiwi and cutting it in half lengthwise. Then, you can either cut it into circles or randomly, depending on your preference.

TIPS: Peeling kiwi can be made simple with a vegetable peeler or a small sharp knife. Choose the method that works best for you.

STEP 2

Next, pour in the lightly beaten egg whites and melted butter into the flour mixture. Stir until the dough becomes smooth and well-combined.

TIPS: Melt your butter either on the stove or in the microwave – whichever is more convenient for you.

TIPS: Instead of using butter, you can opt for good quality margarine. It works just as well!

STEP 4

Prepare a baking sheet by greasing it with butter and lining it with parchment paper. Take the resulting coconut mixture and shape it into 12 small balls. Place these coconut balls onto the prepared baking sheet.

TIPS: Coconut shreds can vary in their dryness levels. If you find yourself working with drier shreds, you might need to add a bit more liquid to achieve the desired consistency for rolling the dough into balls.
