Almond Coconut Macaroons

I have been wanting to make these almond coconut macaroons for a long time. I have pleasant memories of macaroons from when my uncle’s wife made them a lot back when I was in the Philippines. We used to live next door to them, so my siblings and I were lucky to taste some of her dishes and baked goods. She had a different recipe for macaroons and often baked them in cupcake liners.

In this recipe, the sugar and egg whites were whisked together first and then the rest of the ingredients were added. I like this recipe because it is very simple. The addition of chopped almonds adds a different taste and texture to these crispy treats. This recipe yields 8 macaroons, which I think is the perfect amount for my family. One serving of the macaroons is enough to satisfy one’s sweet tooth without feeling guilty about it.
