Indulge in the delightful taste of these Best Ever Macaroons! With a perfect blend of sweetness and texture, these coconut treats are ideal for any occasion, whether it’s a winter gathering or a festive Christmas celebration. Dive into the world of deliciousness with this easy-to-follow recipe.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup honey
• 3 egg whites
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup unbleached flour
• 1 cup unsweetened dried shredded coconut

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) degrees.

2. Beat the egg whites in a mixing bowl until they start to expand but are still soft.

3. Add sugar, honey, and vanilla extract to the egg whites.

4. Continue beating at high speed until very stiff peaks form, which should take about 8-10 minutes.

5. Fold in the flour and shredded coconut into the mixture by hand until well combined.

6. Drop the batter onto well-buttered baking sheets by heaping teaspoonfuls, or if preferred, use a pastry bag with a #2 star tip for a decorative touch.

7. Bake in the preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for approximately 10 minutes or until the macaroons turn golden brown.

Variations:

• Cocomacs: To add a chocolate twist, incorporate an additional tablespoon of honey to the egg whites. Then, fold in 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa with the flour for a rich cocoa flavor.

• Chocolate Dipped: After the macaroons have cooled, dip the bottom of each one in melted semisweet chocolate. Allow them to dry upside down on a rack for a delicious chocolate coating.

• Macaroon Sandwich: Create a delightful “macwich” by sandwiching two dipped macaroons together, combining the sweetness of the coconut with the richness of chocolate.

With its heavenly aroma and irresistible taste, these Best Ever Macaroons are sure to become a favorite among family and friends. Enjoy the pleasure of baking and sharing these delightful treats during the holiday season or any time you crave a sweet indulgence!
