So Easy Angel Macaroons Recipes

ANGEL MACAROONS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Cover cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper or foil. In large (4-quart) glass or metal bowl, beat cake mix, 1/2 cup water and the almond extract with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. On medium speed, beat 1 minute, scraping bowl occasionally. Fold in coconut.
• Drop half of the mixture by teaspoonfuls about 3 inches apart onto lined cookie sheets.
• Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until light golden brown around edges. Cool macaroons completely before removing from parchment paper.
• Meanwhile, stir 1 tablespoon cocoa into remaining mixture. Bake and cool as directed above.
• In 1-quart saucepan, heat butter, 4 teaspoons cocoa and 4 teaspoons water over low heat, stirring constantly, until butter is melted. Stir in powdered sugar. Drizzle small amount of glaze over each cookie.

BONNIE'S ANGEL FOOD MACAROONS

Steps:

• 1. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper. (reuse for each batch) No need to grease. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and place rack in CENTER of the oven. Bake cookies 10 to 12 minutes, depending on your oven.
• 2. You will need a box of angel food cake mix and a bag of flaked, sweetened coconut, almond extract and water.
• 3. Using a hand mixer, mix the angel food cake and the water and extract together, on low, for one minute, then scrape the bowl and beat for one minute more. Gently fold in the coconut.
• 4. Drop the cookies by heaping teaspoon onto the baking sheet, two inches apart. (I do mine with a tablespoon because I like them bigger, takes one minute longer to bake them in my oven)
• 5. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes depending on your oven. Size of cookie also makes a difference in the time it takes to bake. Don't overbake the cookies! They should look like toasted marshmallows look when they are just barely starting to turn a tan color. See my photo.
• 6. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
• 7. Here is how they look.
• 8. Give a plate of these cookies as a gift!
• 9. Enjoy!
