Coconut Macaroons

I made these for tonights barbecue...  They are very easy and very tasty.

Preparation time:            5 minutes
Cooking time:                15minutes
Temperature:                 180°C

 

Pre heat oven to 180°C Separate eggs, reserve the whites and give the yolks to a friend to make Mayonnaise

150gms sugar 200 gms dessicated coconut 3 egg whites 1 teaspoon vanilla essence 1/2 teaspoon of salt

sift sugar and coconut into a mixing bowl stir in salt, vanilla essence and egg whites and make sure thoroughly mixed drop large teaspoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet, ensuring that the macaroons are not touching.  They will spread, but only a little Bake in the middle of the oven (180°C) for about 15 minutes until just turning golden on top Remove from oven and let stand 2 or 3 minutes then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool. If you have any, I didn't, dip the bases in melted chocolate
