Preparation Steps for Gluten-Free Coconut Macaroons

With these steps below,

You can prepare the perfect gluten-free coconut macaroons.

1.    Preheat Your Oven Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to avoid sticky situations.

2.    Combine Dry Ingredients Combine shredded coconut and salt in a mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly so that the salt gives uniform treatment to all parts of the coconut.

3.    Prepare the Wet Mixture

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they froth. This step helps in giving a light texture to your macaroons. Then sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract should be added to the egg whites, mixing thoroughly.

4.    Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Fold the wet mixture into the coconut in small amounts until it gets into everything. Ensure that every bit of coconut is evenly coated so that there is a consistent texture and flavor, all in all.

5.    Shape the Macaroons

Drop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet using a spoon or cookie scoop. Keep the shapes slightly rounded to give that classic macaron look.

6.    Bake

Then place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops turn golden brown.

7.    Optional Chocolate Drizzle

While the macaroons cool, melt your gluten-free chocolate chips using a microwave or double boiler. Drizzle over the cooled macaroons or dip their bases for added indulgence.
