Coconut macaroon

A coconut macaroon is a type of cookie made with shredded coconut, egg whites, and sugar. They are often dipped in chocolate or coated with a chocolate sauce.

The first recorded recipe for coconut macaroons was in an English cookbook published in 1796. The recipe called for grated coconut, sugar, and rose water.

It is believed that the cookies were introduced to the United States by Scottish immigrants in the late 1800s.
