An easy macaroon recipe that includes Guinness stout and a bit of dark chocolate.
Ingredients
  • 1 11.2 ounce bottle of Guinness stout
  • 8 ounces (1 cup) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ ounce dark chocolate, melted
  • 12 ounces sweetened, shredded, dried coconut
  • 2 large egg whites
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
  1. Position oven racks to top and bottom thirds of oven. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Pour the Guinness into a saucepan and boil until syrupy and reduced to 3-4 tablespoons, about 15 minutes. Set aside.
  3. Combine the condensed milk and vanilla in a large bowl. Stir in the Guinness reduction and melted chocolate.
  4. Add the coconut and mix thoroughly.
  5. Beat the egg whites and salt with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Use a plastic spatula to fold the egg whites into the batter, then push the batter into a mound.
  7. Using wet hands or two wet spoons, gently form rounded tablespoon-sized balls and place on parchment paper about 1½ inches apart.
  8. Bake about 10 minutes, then switch sheets to other rack and also rotate them. Bake another 10 minutes and check for doneness. The cookies are done when they are golden brown on top and tan on the bottom.
  9. Allow to cool briefly in the sheets, then cool completely on racks.
