Easiest Coconut Macaroon Recipe in the World!

coconut macaroons
I love coconut macaroons so I have tried many different recipes and this one is by far the best.  It’s so easy with so few ingredients they can be whipped up easily when unexpected guests pop round…oh I hate unexpected guests but that’s a blog post for another day.

Ingredients:

* 1 cup of cocount
* 1 egg
* 1/2 cup of sugar
* pinch of salt
* 1 tablespoon of  cornflour

procedure:

1. Combine coconut, sugar and cornflour in a bowl.
2. beat egg & salt with a fork, stir into dry ingredients and mix well.
3. place heaped spoonfuls of mixture on to baking paper lined trays and bake for 15 min at 180 degrees celcius/350 degrees fareinheight  or golden.

That’s it! So simple and so delicious - makes about 18.  Try adding choc-chips to the recipe or dipping  the peaks in melted chocolate…yum yum!  I also find shaping is done best when you place a spoon of mix in your palm and pinch it to form a mountain shape complete with peak.  The peak will be quite dark when they cook but that’s normal.  I once gave a batch to my father who looked at them and said “they look like tits!”  He has quite a way with words, wouldn’t you say?

  1. Is that Cornflour as in the U.S. Corn Starch or corn flour as in actual corn flour? Have been looking for an easy macroon recipe for ages thanks for the post.

  2. Nate, I have not come across corn starch before so I would say it’s pure corn flour an in “Maize cornflour”. It’s the stuff you put in sponge cakes to give them the light texture. Hope this helps.
