A couple of other points, regardless of the recipe you use: - if you can, pulse the almonds and icing sugar in a food processor - even if the almonds are already ground they will be coarse and you won't get as smooth a finish if you miss this (they'll still taste good though!) - preferably use powdered colour to avoid changing the consistency much - you can get this from cake decorating stores. Again, you can do it without but may compromise the result - they can be pretty finickety so I prefer to minimise the risk factors and leave as little to chance as I can. ;-)
4 large egg whites, room temperature 1C white sugar 1/4 tsp salt 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 1/2C cake flour, sifted 3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
1. Whisk the egg whites, sugar and salt in a stainless steel bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. 2. When the mixture is creamy and warm, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla, flour and coconut. Cover and refrigerate for an hour or until firm. 3. Preheat oven to 170°C and line two baking sheets with baking paper. 4. Using a teaspoon, drop small amounts of the batter onto the baking sheets, leaving several inches in between. 5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool fully. Then dip in chocolate and leave to set.

Macaroons have coconut. Macarons are the fancy french ones you glue together and make in lovely colours. When you google recipes you'll get thrown unless you type in 'macaron' !!

I just posted a recipe in the 'What have you baked today' thread.
