Just thinking of Coconut Macaroons gets that melt-in-your-mouth, warm feeling that is just so hard to shake off and there is no way out other than to pop one of those in your mouth. We had, in one of our previous videos shown how to make Aquafaba and here, we go on and use it to make these delicious Coconut Cookies. If you are allergic to eggs or try and avoid it for any reason, here is a great eggless version of these golden bites. Coconut Macaroons have a crispy exterior and a soft inside that gives it that distinct and unique texture that makes sure you can’t stop at just one!
If you are okay with eggs and prefer to use them, try this recipe with egg whites or try our Macaroon with Cornflakes and Walnuts, you will not be disappointed with either of the recipes.
