These coconut macaroons are my husband's favorite and earned me a first-place ribbon at the county fair. I especially like the fact that this recipe makes a small enough batch for the two of us to nibble on without lots left over. —Penny Ann Habeck, Shawano, Wisconsin




Ingredients

  • 1-1/3 cups sweetened shredded coconut

  • 1/3 cup sugar

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Macaroon Tips What is the difference between a macaroon and a macaron? Macaroons (pronounced mack-a-roon) are an American creation made with shredded coconut and sometimes dipped in chocolate. Macarons (pronounced mac-a-rohn), made famous by the French, are elegant meringue sandwich cookies filled with buttercream, ganache or jam. (Here’s how to make French macarons.)Why do my coconut macaroons spread? Coconut macaroons may spread due to too much moisture. Try adding another tablespoon of flour or whisking your egg whites until fluffy. (Here are other ways to prevent cookies from spreading.)How long do coconut macaroons last? Coconut macaroons can last for up to 1 week if you store them in an airtight cookie storage container. To make them last longer, you can freeze them by placing them in a single layer on a sheet pan in the freezer. Once the individual cookies are completely frozen, you can store them in a flat-bottomed airtight container with the layers separated by parchment paper or waxed paper.

Chocolate Crinkle Cookie Tips Why are my chocolate crinkle cookies flat? While chocolate crinkle cookies are simple to make, there are a number of small ways things can go awry. Make sure your baking powder isn't old, or it won't give much lift. The butter shouldn't be too soft—30 minutes on the counter is plenty. And make sure your cookie sheets are clean and cool going into the oven. Here are more reasons why your cookies could be flat.What makes a cookie crinkle? Crinkle cookies are cute, and this level of adorable is achieved by starting the baking process with the cookie dough in balls instead of pressed flat. As the dough warms and cooks, it collapses into a perfect cookie and cracks appear. The contrast of the chocolate dough and powdered sugar makes this chocolate crinkle cookie recipe extra pretty. Check out the ultimate guide to different types of cookies.Can I freeze chocolate crinkle cookies? Freshly baked crinkle cookies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for four to five days. Alternatively, you can freeze baked cookies in a single layer, or separated by parchment, for three to four weeks. Chocolate crinkle dough can be formed into balls and frozen in a single layer on a baking sheet. When they're frozen solid, store them in an airtight container in the freezer for three months. When you're ready to bake, let thaw for 30 minutes, roll in confectioner's sugar and bake following the directions.How can I adjust this crinkle cookie recipe? Add extra texture to classic chocolate crinkle cookies by mixing in one cup of finely chopped dried cherries or one cup of chocolate chips (white, milk or dark). Add some extra holiday flair by including 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract and 1/2 cup of crushed peppermints or candy canes. For an espresso kick, replace the water with strong coffee (cooled).
