Ingredients

• 3 cups Shredded sweetened coconut
• 0.75 cup Sweetened condensed milk
• 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 2 large Egg whites
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 4 ounces Chocolate (optional, for drizzling or dipping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) 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 pure vanilla extract. Mix well until evenly combined.

Step 3

Fold in the dried cranberries until they are distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 4

In a separate clean bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment to beat the egg whites and salt. Whip until stiff peaks form.

Step 5

Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the coconut mixture using a spatula, taking care not to deflate the egg whites too much.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the macaroons cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 9

If using chocolate, melt it in a microwave or double boiler, and either drizzle it over the macaroons or dip the bottoms into the chocolate. Let the chocolate set before serving.

Step 10

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