Ingredients

• 200 grams Shredded sweetened coconut
• 200 grams Sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 150 grams Cornflakes
• 2 large Egg whites
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 100 grams Chocolate chips (optional for drizzling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°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. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly coated.

Step 3

Carefully fold in the cornflakes, ensuring they are coated but still retain their crunch.

Step 4

In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites using an electric mixer on medium speed until frothy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and increase the speed to high, beating until stiff peaks form.

Step 5

Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the coconut and cornflake mixture in two additions, taking care not to deflate the egg whites.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the macaroons are golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the macaroons to cool on the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

If desired, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or over a double boiler and drizzle over the cooled macaroons for a decorative finish.

Step 10

Store the macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
