Instructions
-
Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, begin by beating the egg whites until they become foamy. Once foamy, add the cream of tartar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until the mixture is stiff and glossy.
-
-
Incorporate the Sweetness: Gradually add the sugar to the egg whites, ensuring to beat continuously until fully incorporated and the mixture retains its stiff peaks.
-
Fold in the Goodness: Gently fold in the chopped pecans, shredded coconut, and corn flakes. Be careful to maintain the airiness of the egg whites to keep the macaroons light.
-
Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). While the oven is heating, spray your baking sheets with vegetable spray to prevent sticking.
-
Shape the Cookies: Using a rounded tablespoon, drop mounds of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about two inches apart to allow for slight spreading.
-
Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the macaroons are lightly browned on the edges.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the cookies immediately from the sheets and transfer them to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious Corn Flakes Macaroons!
