Coconut Macaroons

Anyone who grew up with me will remember these biscuits fondly. I have been making these for years from a recipe I found in a cute little book that I still own today. Even eight year old me thought they were easy, and eighteen year old me is not only inclined to agree, but just wants to eat them all of the time.

Coconut Macaroons

(Makes 18)

Ingredients

2 cups of coconut

1 cup of sugar

2 teaspoons of corn flour

2 eggs

a pinch of salt

Method

Combine the ingredients.  Yup, that's it. I have seen so many complex recipes for these where you are asked to only use the whites of eggs are the yolks or spin around three times and sift the flour through a conch shell. But really, I'm not a fan of complex.

These do get a little sticky, so I would suggest lining the tray with foil first, but aside from that, set them all out nicely then throw them in the oven at 180 degrees for about 15 minutes.

Price 

$1 for the coconut

23c for the sugar
74c for the eggs
3c for the corn flour

As an afternoon treat, $2 seems a pretty reasonable price. Trust me, you'll enjoy them.
