Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Sweetened shredded coconut
- 200 grams Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Chocolate, melted (optional for dipping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed and set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites and salt together using an electric hand mixer or a whisk until stiff peaks form. This will take about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the coconut mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites while folding.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the tops and edges are golden brown.
Remove the macaroons from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dip the bottoms of the macaroons into melted chocolate and place them on parchment paper to set until the chocolate hardens.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
