Ingredients
- 300 grams Sweetened shredded coconut
- 200 ml Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed and set aside.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites and salt together until stiff peaks form. This step helps give the macaroons a light, airy texture.
Step 4
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the coconut mixture. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites as you mix.
Step 5
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops and edges of the macaroons are golden brown.
Step 7
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the macaroons to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Store the macaroons in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
