this is the quickest and easiest recipe ever. it's from the pillsbury complete cookbook. i always keep coconut on hand, just so i can whip these out at the last minute if i need something quick to bring somewhere. you can always doctor this recipe a little bit by drizzling or dipping half of them in chocolate. or i've added lime juice a few times for a little something extra. these are by far my favorite macaroon recipe i've tried.
(this only makes enough for 12 cookies, so i usually double it)
2 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
dash salt
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups coconut
heat the oven to 325°F. grease and slightly flour cookie sheet. in medium bowl, beat egg whites until frothy. add sugar, flour, salt, and almond extract; mix well. stir in coconut. drop dough by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart on to prepared cookie sheet.
bake for 13 - 17 minutes or until set and light golden brown. immediately remove from cookie sheet.

These look fabulous! Have you ever dipped them in chocolate? I'm glad it only makes 12 so that I can't eat 20 of them in one day :) Can't wait to try 'em!
whoops...sorry, somehow I skipped over your reccomendation of adding chocolate :) The lime sounds so good too!
this looks delish!
