a recipe from my grandma

Crack eggs into a bowl. Add the sugar and mix until well blended. Add the desiccated coconut and butter and mix. Finally, stir in the flour and cornstarch. Preheat the oven to 170°C (top/bottom heat). Spread the macaroon mixture onto the wafers using a teaspoon, about 1 cm high (you can also use an ice cream scoop). Place the macarons on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, not too close together – leave about 1 cm between each one. Place in the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes. They’re done when the edges are lightly browned. Remove from the baking sheet immediately. Don’t let them brown, or they’ll harden!
