Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut, corn flakes cereal, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix until well combined.
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.
Pour the egg white mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold it in until everything is evenly coated and sticky.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop small mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the tops are lightly toasted.
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.
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.
Let the chocolate set for about 10 minutes before serving.
