Kids friendly coconut macaroons

This weekend, I found a really easy coconut macaroon dessert in one of my favourite cook book. It's so simple and easy that my 4 year old could make it and all I did was to help put it into the oven. It smells and looks good and is also very light.

It makes a great sensory activity as the textures of the ingredients are very different and the kids could feel them and taste them. Just don't offer them raw eggs!

It took about 10 minutes to prepare and another 15 minutes baking time.  C'est simple!

Here's the recipe:
4 tablespoons desiccated coconut
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Pinch of salt
1 egg

Preheat oven to 350F
Mix all the ingredients into a bowl.
Mould them into small balls and place into a baking tray with parchment paper.
Bake 10-15 minutes

The kids had these little bites with a cup of milk before bedtime. Next time we will invite some friends over for tea and bake some of these lovely coconut macaroons.
Bon appétit!
