My daughter’s birthday party is 8 days away and I am in full-out party mode aka the baking has begun! We are having a bunny themed party for her as she LOVES bunnies, especially her Bobbi, her favorite white bunny/lovey.
One of the desserts I am serving at the party are these macaroons or should I say “bunny tails.” And they are super simple and delicious… I made two batches during nap time with an hour and a half left to spare…yea!
Please note that the original recipe calls for almond extract but I used vanilla extract instead to avoid having anything with nuts for dessert due to allergies but either almond or vanilla extract works.
Coconut Macaroons

Serves 12
Ingredients
- 1 14oz package of sweetened & shredded coconut (I use Baker's)
- 2/3 cup or 5 1/8 oz of granulated sugar
- 6 TBS or 2 oz of flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 egg whites (make sure to use just the egg whites and no yolk!)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (could also use almond extract)
Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- 2. Mix the coconut, sugar, flour and salt in a large bowl.
- 3. Stir in the egg whites and vanilla extract until well blended.
- 4. Grease and flour baking sheets.
- 5. Form the macaroon mixture into 2 to 2.5 inch balls and place on baking sheets.
- 6. Bake for approximately 18 minutes- some of the shredded coconut pieces will be a golden brown (they may look slightly under-cooked but will continue to cook while out of the oven).
- 7. Place the macaroons (and the cookie sheet they are on) on a cooling rack for 10 minutes or so.
- 8. Then transfer them off the baking sheet onto the cooling rack to cool themselves.
