Drop the mixture by 1/2 a tablespoonful, one inch apart on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake at 180 degree C (bottom coil – 15-20 mins and finally top coil for just 1 or 2 minutes to give a nice brown shade on the top) for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. After 10 minutes of baking, rotate the tray and continue to bake until done. This is done so that the macaroons will get baked evenly.

    Simple yet great recipe.

    While baking you have mentioned "interchange tray".. do you mean we should rotate the tray after 10 minutes?

      Dry coconut is preferable. If you dry roast fresh coconut and use it, you have to consume on the same day.

      Jasmin – There are many shops which sell baking accessories in Waltax road, near Central station. You can try there.

      It will not be crispy inside because of the coconut we are adding.

      Once you add desiccated coconut, the mixture will become thick. Use medium sized eggs.
