Ingredients
- 300 grams Shredded sweetened coconut
- 200 ml Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Egg whites
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 sweetened coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate clean, dry bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the egg whites on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
Step 4
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the coconut mixture, being careful not to deflate the whites.
Step 5
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop small mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges and tops of the macaroons are golden brown.
Step 7
Remove the macaroons from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Store the macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
