Ingredients

• 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
• 1.5 cups corn flakes cereal
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 3 egg whites
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut, corn flakes cereal, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy but not stiff peaks. Add the vanilla extract and whisk for a few more seconds.

Step 4

Pour the egg white mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold it in until everything is evenly coated and sticky.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the tops are lightly toasted.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the macaroons cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

If you want to add chocolate, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled macaroons using a spoon or piping bag.

Step 9

Let the chocolate set for about 10 minutes before serving.
