Ingredients
- 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup corn flakes cereal
- 0.5 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 large egg whites
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup semi-sweet chocolate (optional, for drizzling)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut, corn flakes cereal, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well with a spatula until evenly combined.
Step 3
In a separate, clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until they reach soft peaks. Gradually add the granulated sugar while continuing to whisk until stiff peaks form.
Step 4
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the coconut-corn flake mixture. Use a spatula to combine the ingredients without deflating the egg whites.
Step 5
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 16–18 minutes, or until the macaroons are golden brown around the edges and set in the middle.
Step 7
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the macaroons cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
If you’d like, melt the semi-sweet chocolate and drizzle it over the cooled macaroons for an extra touch of decadence. Let the chocolate set before serving.
Step 9
Store the macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
