Coconut Macaroon Cookies Makes 24 servings (24 cookies) (You will need 8-10 cookies for the pie crust). This recipe is a modification of our Easy Almond Macaroon Cookies. For the pie crust purpose, we eliminated the sliced almonds from original recipe (because we add chopped almonds to the bottom layer of the pie crust) and switched the lemon zest to orange zest. Ingredients 1 14-ounce package sweetened shredded cocoanut ¾ cup of sugar 1 teaspoon grated orange zest ¼ tsp of salt 4 large egg whites Directions 1. Heat oven to 325ºF. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. 2. In a large bowl, combine the coconut, almonds, sugar, lemon zest and salt. Stir in the egg whites. 3. Drop mounds of the mixture (each equal to 2 tablespoons) onto the prepared baking sheets. 4. Bake, switching the sheets halfway through, until the edges begin to brown (20 - 25 minutes). Transfer to cooling racks to cool completely. Ingredients: Almonds, Chopped
