Equipment

  • - Stand mixer/Batter mixing: For efficiently combining ingredients together, ensuring smooth batter without overmixing.

  • - Parchment Paper Sheets / Silicone Baking Mats / Cookie Cutters: For easy release of macaroons from the baking sheet and shaping them into uniform sizes.

  • - Digital Kitchen Scale/Measuring Cups & Spoons: For precise ingredient measurement, crucial in baking for consistent results.

  • - Glass Bakeware or Silicone Baking Mat: A non-stick surface to prevent macaroons from sticking when baked.

  • - Cookie Scoop/Spring Release Ice Cream Scooper: For evenly portioned balls of batter, which are then coated with shredded coconut.

  • - Sharp Knife or Bench Scraper: To remove the formed macaroons from the parchment paper without breaking them.

  • - Rolling Pin (Optional): Optional but can be used to flatten and shape some dough if needed in specific recipes that require it, although not typical for coconut macaroons.

  • - Stand Mixer Bowl / Whisk Attachment/Paddle Attachment: To mix ingredients efficiently; however, a stand mixer is optional as the mixing process can be done by hand or with an electric hand mixer too.

  • - Spatula: For folding ingredients together and for transferring the macaroons without breaking them.

Ingredients

  • Vegetable oil cooking spray

  • 10 egg whites

  • 2 cups unsweetened dried shredded coconut

  • 2 cups plain quick-cooking oats

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

  • 3/4 cup sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons bittersweet chocolate morsels

  • 1 teaspoon trans-fat-free soft-tub margarine

Instruction 1

Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 3 baking sheets with cooking spray; set aside. Stir egg whites, coconut, oats, vanilla, sugar and salt in a bowl until well blended. Drop tablespoons of dough onto baking sheets, half an inch apart. Bake macaroons until light golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely. Place chocolate morsels and margarine in a glass bowl or measuring cup. Microwave on high until chocolate melts completely, 40 to 50 seconds, or melt in a 350° oven 5 to 6 minutes. (Do not overheat chocolate or it will scorch.) Dip a metal teaspoon into warmed chocolate and gently drizzle chocolate over cookies in a zigzag pattern. Cool completely. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 3 days.
