Macaroons

[donna]

I have always loved Macaroons. This is old recipe from "Taste of Boone County".

Macaroons

2 egg whites
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup coconut
2 cups corn flakes

Beat egg whites until stiff, adding sugar a little at a time as you beat the whites. Stir in rest of the ingredients.

Drop by teaspoonful on the baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until light brown.

This is a different recipe with using corn flakes.

Haven't had some macaroons in a while. Have this old recipe from my Granny's church.(Cookbook South Elkhorn Christian Church).

Pecan Macaroons

1 cup brown sugar
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons white sugar
4 egg whites, do not beat
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsifted flour
2 teaspoons vanilla

The recipe has spiked my wife's interest.she is going to make these for the girls she volunteers with.one question is the do you know if she used dark or light brown sugar?

 

[donna]

It was light brown sugar.

I have to say I love Almond Macaroons....and I do like the coconut, but Almond is my favorite. You cannot find them anywhere, so making them will make me a happy woman. thanks for the post....

We get them in store at holidays. The bakery at Kroger has them and so does Buskin's Bakery. But making your own is the best.

They are delightful. I love a nice homemade one, but the canisters they sell around Passover are great too!
