COCONUT MACAROONS WITH A CHERRY TOP
My mother made these at Easter but the recipe wasn't written down. After much research, I worked with the recipe from Diane Rattay on About.com, and modified it to add the maraschino cherries like my mom did. Be sure to whip the egg whites thoroughly until stiff and glossy. A bonus is that these are a non-fat cookie.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300°. Line baking trays with parchment paper.
- Place coconut in a large zip lock bag. Toss in 2 T. maraschino cherry juice and shake until coconut is pink. Set aside.
- Cut 18 maraschino cherries in half. Drain on paper towels. Set aside.
- Using a mixer, beat egg whites and salt at high speed until soft peaks form.
- Sprinkle sugar in, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating well after each addition until sugar is completely dissolved (allow 2 minutes after each addition of sugar). Whites should be in stiff glossy peaks when you're done.
- Beat in vanilla. With a rubber spatula, fold in coconut and flour.
- Drop coconut by rounded teaspoon about an inch apart onto the prepared baking sheets. They won't spread very much at all. Place a half cherry on top of each cookie.
- Bake at 300° for 20 minutes, or until lightly browned. Slide parchment paper and cookies directly onto a rack to cool.
- Store in tightly covered container for up to 3 days.
- Makes 36 cookies.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 170°C / 340°F (150°C fan) and line a large baking sheet with greaseproof paper or baking parchment. Place the egg whites and cream of tartar into the bowl of your stand mixer (or a large bowl) and whisk using the balloon attachment (or an electric hand whisk) until soft peaks have formed. Add the sugar, and continue to whisk until stiff peaks are formed, and the mixture is nice and shiny. Add the vanilla, almond, salt, coconut, and chopped cherries, and gently fold together until the coconut is completely covered in the egg whites, and the cherries are well distributed. Using your hands (or an ice cream scoop) form golf-ball sized balls of the mixture, making sure they are nice and compact. Place on the lined baking sheet - they won't spread too much in the oven, so they can be fairly close to each other. Pop in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. The more exposed bits of coconut should be a nice golden brown, but there will still be some white in there too. Leave to cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, drizzle with melted chocolate and pop in the fridge to set.

Steps:
- About 30 minutes before making macaroons, place an egg separator over a small bowl. Crack each egg over the egg separator to separate the yolks from the whites. (Save egg yolks for another recipe.)
- In a clean large bowl, place the egg whites, and let stand at room temperature up to 30 minutes.*
- Heat the oven to 300°F. Line cookie sheets with a sheet of foil or cooking parchment paper.
- Add the cream of tartar and salt to the egg whites. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until foamy. Beat in the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time; continue beating until stiff and glossy--do not underbeat. Pour into a medium bowl.
- Sprinkle the almond extract and coconut over egg white mixture. With a rubber spatula, cut down vertically through the batter, then slide the spatula across the bottom of the bowl and up the side, turning the batter over. Rotate the bowl a quarter turn, and repeat this down-across-up motion. Continue folding just until ingredients are blended.
- For each cookie, scoop a teaspoonful of dough, using a tableware spoon, and push it onto a lined cookie sheet with another spoon or rubber spatula, placing cookies 1 inch apart. Place 1 cherry piece on each cookie.
- Bake 20 to 25 minutes or just until edges are light brown. Cool on cookie sheets 10 minutes, then remove cookies from foil to a cooling rack, using a turner. Cool cookie sheets 10 minutes between batches.

Steps:
- Whisk together the egg whites and caster sugar in a large bowl for 2-3 mins until light and frothy, and the sugar has dissolved. Add the coconut, a pinch of salt and the vanilla, then stir until combined. Leave to stand for 10 mins.
- Heat the oven to 170C/150C fan/gas 3½. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Scoop teaspoonfuls of the mixture and roll into compact balls, then arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 mins until golden.
- Leave on the baking sheet to cool completely. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water, or in short 20-second bursts in the microwave. Tip the melted chocolate into a small bowl, then dip the bottom of each cooled macaroon into the chocolate and wipe off any excess. Arrange on a sheet of baking parchment, chocolate-side up, then put in the fridge for 20 mins, or until set. You can use any remaining melted chocolate to pipe in zigzags over the top, if you like, then leave to set.

CHOCOLATE-CHERRY-COCONUT MACAROONS
An interesting take on macaroons. This recipe comes from "The Joy of Cookies" by Sharon Tyler Herbst. The cherries will add extra softness to the macaroons. Just be sure to squeeze as much of the cherry juice off as you can or the cookies will spread and become hat-shaped. Prep time is a guess.

Steps:
- Place chopped cherries in a strainer and press with the back of a spoon to extract as much juice as possible (if you are looking for something to do with the juice, it can be added to iced green tea to give it a delicious taste). Place cherries on a double thickness of paper towel; wring and squeeze paper towel to extract more juice. Spread cherries on another sheet of paper towel until ready to use.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees farenheit. Grease 3 to 4 large baking sheets. In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs and salt until light. Beating constantly at medium speed, add sugar 1/4 c at a time, beating well after each addition. Increase speed to high; continue beating until mixture is thick and pale and ribbons form in bowl when beaters are lifted, about 5 to 10 minutes. Fold in vanilla and flour, then coconut, chocolate chips and the chopped cherries. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons,1 1/2 inches apart, on prepared baking sheets. Press down slightly.
- Bake 15 to 19 minutes, or until golden brown on the tips. Cool on racks. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
