Coconut macaroons

I have happy childhood memories that revolve around coconut macaroons, summer vacations and gorging. A couple of weeks back I tried this  macaroon recipe that works wonderfully.Here it is..

Ingredients:

• 2 egg whites
• 1 C powdered sugar
• 1 ½ C desiccated coconut
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 pinch of salt

Method:

• Whisk eg whites with salt till stiff.
• Fold in sugar,coconut  and essence with a spoon.
• Cover a baking tray with butter paper/aluminium foil.
• Place spoonfuls of the batter about 2” apart. You should get 16-20 macaroons.
• Bake at 180Deg.C for 20-25 mins.
• Cool and remove from tray.
