Hi,
If you mean the chewy type (not meringue) here is a recipe:
Sugar 1# 8oz
Macaroon coconut 1# 8oz (you can buy it bulk @ winco)
corn syrup 3oz
Vanilla Extract 2 tsp
Pastry flour 1.5 oz
Salt 3/4 tsp
Egg Whites 11oz
Blend everything together, put in stainless steel bowl over hot water bath, stirring constantly until mixture reaches 120 degree's.
Use a pastry bag to pipe onto parchment (or silpat) lined baking sheet, make cookies aprox. 1inch across. Bake at 375 degrees.

Happy Baking!!

Here's an easy one from Ina Garten: http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/reci...ml?rsrc=search

I saw her make these for an episode I saw recently.

These sound so much better than the Manischewitz canned ones fro Passover that just might make a batch! Well.... after checking the label on the milk can first.

Ok this is so easy you may think it wont be good:

1# coconut
10 oz sugar
5 oz eggs

Mix, scoop, bake 8 to 10 minutes turning once ( or until done) Cool, dip bottoms in tempered chocolate.

Eeyore, is that whole eggs or just the whites?

What's not to like?

[Eeyore]

hmm..i never heard of coconut macaroons with whole eggs..how does that work?,,,maybe i am just lacking experience

[akila001]

Yes, whole eggs seems strange to me too. I initially thought it was only coconut, suger and egg whites. But I will try this one as well! Thanks!

[Eeyore]

Yes, it's whole eggs. A little less chewy and slightly more yellow.

Very simple, very coconut taste. I think it really needs the chocolate.

hope it works for you.
