Ingredients

• 3 cups Shredded sweetened coconut
• 0.6667 cup Sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Egg whites
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 optional Cooking spray or parchment paper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded sweetened coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well to ensure all the coconut is evenly coated.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whisk the egg whites on medium speed until frothy, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar to the egg whites while whisking and continue until soft peaks form. The mixture should be glossy and hold its shape when the whisk is lifted.

Step 5

Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the coconut mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites too much.

Step 6

Scoop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You can use your hands to shape them into small mounds if needed.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops and edges are golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the macaroons from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
