Amazing Maple Macaroon Cupcakes

These light-as-a-feather treats are crunchy on the outside and squishy inside. Candy and cake all in one.

3/4 cup flour

1-1/3 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

6 egg whites

1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon maple extract (not syrup)

1 cup flaked coconut

Mix flour with 1 cup sugar, baking powder and salt and set aside. Beat egg whites with cream of tartar and 1/3 cup sugar until soft peaks form, then add vanilla and maple extracts and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold flour mixture into egg whites. Fold coconut into egg whites.

Fill paper cupcake liners 2/3 full (do not grease) and bake in cupcake pan at 300 degrees for about 40 minutes or until just golden. Let cool completely
