Kokosmakronen are some of my favorite German Christmas cookies that I ate all the time growing up in Germany! These are the best Coconut Macaroons (I learned after 4 trials)! They're soft on the inside and have a little crunch on the outside AND they're easy to make!
Preheat oven to 180° C or 355° Fahrenheit.
Distribute 30 Oblaten (paper wafers) on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2 OblatenBeat the egg whites with the vanilla extract and ¼ of the sugar until peaks form.
4 grams egg whites8 grams sugar⅕ tsp vanilla extractCombine the shredded coconut and remaining sugar in a bowl, then gently, using a rubber spatula, fold in with the beaten egg whites until just combined (no more chunks).
16 ⅔ grams shredded, unsweetened coconut8 grams sugarUsing a small cookie scoop or 2 small spoons, distribute the cookie mixture onto the 30 Oblaten.
Bake on the middle rack for about 18 to 20 minutes. The cookies should just start to turn a golden color. Allow to cool, then immediately store in an airtight container.
