Mocha Macaroons

by Kathleen Morrison

Servings: 3 dozen

INGREDIENTS

3 egg whites
1 tsp. instant coffee granules, crushed
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups coconut flakes

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 300°F; lightly grease cookie sheets. Beat the egg whites, coffee, cream of tartar and salt in a medium bowl on high speed until foamy. Beat in the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, on high speed; continue beating until stiff. Do not underbeat. Stir the cocoa until smooth and powdery. Fold in the cocoa and coconut. Drop the mixture by rounded teaspoonfuls 1-inch apart on the cookie sheets. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until set. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from the cookie sheets. Cool on wire racks. Sprinkle with additional cocoa or drizzle with melted chocolate, if desired.
