Ingredients

2/3 cup sugar
2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
1/2 cup dried cranberries, finely chopped
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
3 cups (about 8 ounces) finely shredded unsweetened coconut

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.

Whisk the sugar, egg whites, cranberry, orange zest, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Toss the coconut with the egg mixture until completely coated.

Moisten your finger tips with water. Form about 1 heaping tablespoon of the batter into pointed mounds or pyramids on the prepared pans, spacing them about 1-inch apart.

Bake until the edges are golden brown and the entire macaroon is nicely toasted and dry, 16 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool. Serve.

Store macaroons in a tightly sealed container for up to a week.

Enjoyed these macaroons! Very easy to make and everyone loved them. The hardest part about making them was shaping the... mounds into pyramid shape! Read more

Add some chocolate
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I added 1/4 c. mini chocolate morsels and it was delicious. Mine came out a bit darker than in the picture, but they tasted... just fine. I will definitely make this again.Read more

There's a trick ..
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

These are tasty. To make them better, mix the coconut with a little cornstarch... toss it with your fingers so that every bit... is coated. This will improve the texture and make them easier to form. Also, as others said you might want to cut the sugar and zest a bit. Nice take on a macaroon though.Read more
