Kokos Makronen - Coconut Macaroons

Ok, I have to admit, that this is not a "macaroon" in the original sense, but there is simply no better translation of the german "Makrone". If anyone knows a better word, pls let me know!

But, they are simple to make and really delicious:

Here is what you need:

• 3 egg whites
• 125 g caster sugar
• 1/2 tsp of lemon juice
• 200g of grated coconut

And how to make them:

• whip the egg white with the lemon juice so that you get stiff peaks 
• fold in the sugar followed by the grated coconut
• line a baking tray with grease proof paper
• with two teaspoons, put small heaps of the mixture on the tray
• bake at 175 °C for roughly 15 mins. The macaroons should still be soft but can get a little bit browned on the outside

You can also replace the cocnut with ground haselnuts. Equally nice!
Enjoy and have a fabulous 2nd Advent!
