I heard on the radio that macaroons were going to be the new hip food this decade. The following recipe is so much more than the sum of its ingredients. These toasty chewy gooey cookies take only a few minutes to prepare and they are staggeringly delicious.
I can only assume that the macaroon's future as "cookie of the decade" will be enhanced with all sorts of extra flavors like pineapple, candied ginger, peppermint bits, who knows? I like them just the way they are.
I have based this recipe on one from the back of a bag of coconut I once bought .

Haven't cooled yet..but I "sampled" a smidge...VERY, VERY GOOD
I was skeptical because of the simplicity, but I am a believer now.
Ever try them dipped in chocolate?...my next version.
Thank you!
I saw a story about Macaroons being the next big thing and I thought “Awesome” I love Macaroons. Then all the pictures in the story were of these little Oreo looking things. They taste ok but are not as awsome as Macaroons.
They are more rustic and hearty than the Parisian ones, and they don't look like colourful Oreos.
And, oven kept very tidy!!
Oh, and great recipe!
Will report back with how they are in 20 minutes! :D
Fabulous recipe! Only problem I had was that they stuck badly to the (brand-new, silicone-treated) cookie sheet even after heavily spraying with PAM. I'll try parchment paper next time.
Thanks a zillion!
can't remember the recipe, so thank you :D
THANK YOU!
If anyone is ever in the Utica, NY area and loves a great macaroon, then Holland Farms Dairy Store is a must stop for you. We used to live within walking distance and let me tell you, it was a killer place to get macaroons.

i completely forgot about them !! a farm shop near me does some fantastic ones !
BTW a mixture *can* be separated, at least theoretically, by physical means, i.e., you could pick out the bits of coconut, etc. A compound can only be separated by chemical means, i.e., by chemical reactions. In practice, though, it is usually much easier to separate a compound into its elements than it is to separate a mixture....

I don't know how this is the latest trend (bakeries selling these things have been around for a while), but it's what the "trendsters" have latched on to lately.
