Coconut Cocoa Lime Macaroons
Ingredients
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1 (7 ounce) package toasted flake coconut
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 300 degrees Fahrenheit or 150 degrees Celsius.
2
Take a large mixing bowl and begin whipping the egg whites until they become light and airy, almost frothy in appearance.
3
Gradually incorporate the sugar into the egg whites while continuing to whip, aiming for a consistency where the mixture forms soft peaks when lifted with your beater or whisk.
4
Observe how the egg whites transform into a more rigid structure, forming sharp peaks that maintain their shape when lifted.
5
Mix the salt and lime juice into the egg white mixture, then continue whipping until the peaks become even stiffer.
6
Gently fold in the coconut and cocoa powder into the egg white mixture, taking care not to overmix.
7
Scoop out small portions of the mixture and drop them onto the prepared baking sheets in tablespoonfuls.
8
Bake the treats until they turn golden brown and firm to the touch, approximately 20 minutes.
9
Allow the baked goods to cool on the baking sheets before transferring them to wire racks for further cooling.
10
Store the finished treats in an airtight container for later use.
