Ingredients

• 300 grams Sweetened shredded coconut
• 200 milliliters Sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 large Egg whites
• 1 pinch Salt
• 100 grams Chocolate (optional for drizzling or dipping, melted)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.

Step 4

Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the coconut mixture in two additions, being careful not to overmix or deflate the egg whites.

Step 5

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Allow the macaroons to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

If desired, drizzle or dip the cooled macaroons with melted chocolate for an extra indulgent touch. Let the chocolate set before serving or storing.

Step 9

Enjoy your Quick and Easy Coconut Macaroons or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
