Coconut (Snowflake) Macaroons

This beloved Pillsbury recipe is a holiday staple in our house.  Baking cookies, especially these coconut (snowflake in our house!) macaroons was one of mine and my sister's favorite activities to do with our dad every Christmas Eve. Try it out with your family this holiday season and let us know what you think!

4 egg whites

2/3 cup sugar

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

4 cups coconut

Heat oven to 325°F. Grease and lightly flour cookie sheets. In large bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Beat in sugar, flour, salt and almond extract until well blended. Stir in coconut. Drop dough by scant tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto cookie sheets.

Bake 13 to 17 minutes or until set and lightly browned. Immediately remove from cookie sheets.
