Ingredients

• 3 cups Shredded unsweetened coconut
• 0.75 cup Sweetened condensed milk
• 0.5 cup Pumpkin puree
• 1 teaspoon Pumpkin pie spice
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 large Egg whites
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup White chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling or dipping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed and the coconut is evenly coated.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with the salt until soft peaks form. This will give the macaroons a bit of lift and prevent them from being too dense.

Step 4

Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the coconut mixture using a rubber spatula. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites too much.

Step 5

Using a small cookie scoop or two spoons, drop heaping tablespoon-sized mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the edges of the macaroons are golden brown and crisp.

Step 7

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

Step 8

If desired, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval, until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled macaroons or dip the bottoms in chocolate and let them set on parchment paper.

Step 9

Serve the macaroons or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
