serves/makes:

ready in:
30-60 minutes

ingredients

4 cups shredded sweetened coconut
5 large egg whites, at room temp
1 1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup blanched or slivered almonds, finely ground
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup dried pineapple, chopped

directions

Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.

Rinse coconut in cool water and pat dry.

Place egg whites in large bowl of a standing mixer. On high speed, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, beating until meringue is very thick, about 7 minutes. Fold in coconut, then almonds, flour and pineapple pieces.

Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto prepared sheets, spacing mounds 1-1/2 inches apart. Bake macaroons until light brown outside and dry-looking (insides will still be soft), about 20 minutes.

Move cookies to racks and cool completely.
