Ingredients
- 14 ounces Sweetened shredded coconut
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°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, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Step 3
In a separate clean and dry mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Step 4
Gradually add the granulated sugar to the egg whites while continuing to beat until the mixture reaches stiff peaks.
Step 5
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the coconut mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded mounds of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops of the macaroons are lightly golden and the edges are set.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the macaroons cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Store the macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
