Fun with Mom's Recipes

As I posted in Soooo...., I get to copy down a bunch of my mother's old recipes. Last night I made a Round Steak Casserole. It was yummy.

Today I made macaroons.


Macaroons

Oven: 275°

2 egg whites
2 ½ cup moist coconut
2/3 cup condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla

Beat the egg whites stiff. Fold in to mixture of coconut and condensed milk. Add flavoring, stirring gently. Drop by spoonfuls on to greased baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned.

I found out that you MUST remove them from the cookie sheet while still hot. If you let them cool on the cookie sheet, they become chemically bonded to it.

While I don't care for macaroons, Bill said these are delicious.


I made a second kind of cookie, and now I'm going to go bake them (the dough had to sit in the fridge for 2 hours prior to baking).
