These Coconut Bliss Bites are a delightful twist on classic macaroons, offering a chewy texture and a hint of almond flavor.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut, sugar, egg whites, salt, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well mixed.
Ensure the mixture is evenly combined for consistent flavor in every bite.
Refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes to allow it to firm up.
Chilling helps the mixture hold its shape during baking.
Scoop rounded teaspoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Using a small scoop ensures uniform sizes for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking.
Let the bites cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Allowing them to cool on the sheet helps them set and prevents breaking.
Serve the Coconut Bliss Bites on a platter and enjoy!
Arrange them neatly for an appealing presentation.
