Ingredients
- 300 grams sweetened shredded coconut
- 200 milliliters sweetened condensed milk
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large egg whites
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 20 pieces chocolate kisses (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 3
In a separate clean bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites and salt together until stiff peaks form. This will take about 3-5 minutes on medium-high speed.
Step 4
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the coconut mixture, being careful not to deflate the egg whites. Fold until just combined.
Step 5
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 1 inch apart.
Step 6
If desired, press a chocolate kiss gently into the center of each mound, making sure it stays in place.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the edges are lightly toasted.
Step 8
Allow the macaroons to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
