Coconut macaroons with marzipan

I love coconut and I love marzipan. That’s why Lübeck coconut macaroons are one of my favorite Christmas cookies. And they are super easy to make and consist of just 4 ingredients. I have tried many recipes for coconut macaroons, but this recipe with marzipan is my absolute favorite. The macaroons are still soft and moist even after days – if they even survive that long 🙂 – and taste great with a cup of coffee or tea.

What ingredients do you need?

You need following ingredients to bake the macaroons

• 5 Egg white: Please make sure to use eggs from organic production (organic eggs)
• 6 oz / 170 g grated coconut
• 14.1 oz / about 400 g marzipan paste
• 8.8 ez / about 250 g powdered sigar

What do I need to cook the macaroons?

In addition to the ingredients listed, you’ll need a hand mixer and 2 teaspoons to shape the macaroons.

Preheat the oven

Before you start with the actual work, you can preheat the oven: 140 °C (284 °F) for convection and 150 °C (302 °F) for top/bottom heat.

Whip the egg whites

Put the egg whites and half of the powdered sugar in a sufficiently large and dry bowl and beat the egg whites with a hand mixer until very stiff.

Process the marzipan paste

Now you can cut the marzipan paste into small pieces and add it to the beaten egg whites. Mix with a hand mixer for a few minutes until the marzipan has completely dissolved.

Mix the remaining ingredients

Add the grated coconut and the remaining powdered sugar to the beaten egg mixture and mix briefly with the hand mixer on low speed until the ingredients have combined to form a chewy, chunky dough.

Shape the macaroons

Use 2 teaspoons to shape your coconut macaroons and place them directly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Alternatively, you can also use a piping bag with star nozzle.

Baking the coconut macaroons

Place the baking tray on the middle rack of your preheated oven and bake the macaroons for about 20 minutes, or until the macaroons have turned into a golden brown. Please keep an eye on the macaroons at all times, as every oven is different and the baking time may differ a little bit





You can store the macaroons for about 2-3 weeks without any problems. For the storage of the cookies, it is best to use well-sealed containers such as Tupperware. This will keep your macaroons wonderfully fresh and delicious.
